| Module Summary
This module focuses on how the imaginative use of a easily and often freely available music hardware and software can be used to enhance teaching and learning through supporting, extending and enriching children’s musical experiences. This module addresses the following questions:
Am I aware of the range of technologies that are now available to support my work as a music teacher?
Do I know how to use technology to support children’s musical learning?
Am I able to use music technology to support my teaching in whole class instrumental/vocal contexts?
Can I use technology to share musical ideas with my pupils and other teachers?
Do I know where to go for support in using music technology?
NB This module assumes a level of prior knowledge in basic ICT skills and as such does not cover eg. use of laptops/interactive whiteboards.
To demonstrate engagement with this module the minimum you should record in your portfolio your response to the two key tasks (guide: 400 words each). The activities within the module are there to support your learning and you are encouraged to draw upon them in responding to the Key Tasks. However they are not compulsory.

ICT Workshop -important information
You are strongly advised to bring your own laptop to the workshop. If you are unable to do so this may limit your involvement in the session. If the laptop belongs to a school/music service you will need to check that you have administrative rights to enable you to run the programmes which will be provided at the workshop on a memory stick. You will also need to bring headphones if you have them.
The module comprises a Study Guide and a workshop. The two elements are linked through two ‘Key Tasks’. First, work through the Study Guide up to and including Key Task 1. You should take your response to this task to the workshop where it will form the basis of one of the workshop activities. Following the workshop, work through the remainder of the Study Guide and complete Key Task 2.
If you have not read the Programme Handbook you should do so now.
