Dinner With the Kids (and their parents)

HeritageBands ·

2010/09/09

Tonight we dined. We laughed. We hobnobbed. We rubbed elbows. We made a little money. It was fun!One thing we started doing with my band program a few years ago was setting up "Dine Out Nights." We have an extremely supportive community and local restaurants have always stepped forward to provide places for our events. Here's how we got going:A band parent inquired with local proprietors about hosting a "Dine Out Night."She then contacts a few places and gets available dates. These are

"Welcome to Back to School Night, or as I like to call it, the cleanest the band room will look this year!..." Here a few things high school band directors should not tell parents at back to school night:"Has your son ever considered the cello?""Um...no, I'm the tennis coach...(nervous laugh)...the band director went to the bathroom...""I really have no idea what that money gets used for...that will be $342.19. Will that be cash or check?""I'm not really that into teaching music, actually. I'm

Ten Fun Tips for the Young Music Teacher

HeritageBands ·

2010/08/13

I noticed a lot of teachers on musicpln.org and on Twitter that are either still in school or just a few years into their teaching careers. Welcome to the greatest job ever! I know you're getting a TON of useful stuff out of your teacher prep programs. I know I did, but there are some things for which my formal education did not prepare me. Since we're getting a new school under way, I though it would be fun to reminisce a little. Perhaps you've heard these before, but some of them may be new.

60 Picnicers, 13 years, 2 schools, and 1 Facebook Page

I attended a picnic recently. There were lots of things to eat. It was hot out. Kids ran around and played together. To many, it seemed like a normal picnic. Not to me.It was held at a high school, next to the football field, on a Sunday. None of the people there attended the school. At least, not anymore. A reunion of sorts. A 10-year-"ish" reunion of the classes between 1998 and 2002. I was their teacher.I don't teach at that school anymore. It was a great job when I was there though. I

My Candle Problem, part 1

2010/07/14

I know that a LOT of cyber-savvy folks out there are familiar with TED talks, but I saw one that really punched me in the brain. I am relatively new to TED and everyone I ask about it seems to respond with "Koppel or Danson?"Okay, if you haven't yet discovered TED, go there now. WAIT! Read the rest of this first so that I didn't waste a bunch of time writing this stuff down! Your outlook on the world will never be the same. I discovered Gustavo Dudamel on TED before his appointment to the LA

2010/07/02

I saw Adam Frey (co-founder of Wikispaces) and tech guru Vicki Davis introduce Wikis two a room full of eager teachers wondering how to integrate this popular tech tool in their teaching. I had been introduced to them by our tech coach, Heidi Dudley, but at the time, I don't think I was prepared to absorb the info. Too bad...my kids have missed out!Steve Dembo from Discovery Education did a hilarious presentation introducing web 2.0 ideas to novice techies. And if if you haven't checked out

ISTE 2010 Day 2: Um, I have work to do...

HeritageBands ·

2010/06/29

Remember that Far Side comic with the teacher standing in front of the class and that one kid in the middle raises his hand and says, "May I please be excused? My Brain is full."I saw some great stuff but I want to focus on the last presentation of my day.I just saw a talk by Ian Jukes and Lee Crockett: Looking at the Extreme Future. Now, to these two, the extreme future refers to the next 10 to 20 years because, as they put it, from the tech perspective, it's nearly impossible to see beyond that

Reflections on my ISTE 2010 Experience: Day 1

HeritageBands ·

2010/06/27

Okay. I really like technology. REALLY like it. I love looking for ways to integrate technology into my class on a regular basis. Most people in my position tend to teach the way they were taught and that means very little in the way integrated tech. I thought I was really doing some neat things in my classes, and after going to a one-day workshop through my school district, I felt prepared and confident going into the ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) convention.
