EDLD 5305: Bringing It All Together

With a nod to Harapnuik's 2015 blog post "The Head Won't Go Where the Heart Hasn't Been," and its breakdown of Bloom's cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains as "head, heart, and hands," I present the anatomy of an innovation plan.

2, 4, 6, 8, Now It's Time To Annotate!

In addition to the many resources I referenced in my literature review, these are some of the materials that I came across and intend to make further use of as I develop and implement my innovation plan.

Ready, Set...Innovate!

As promised in a previous post, I have a plan. Below is my detailed innovation plan for an online technology-assisted music course, designed both for students and their teachers, as a way of fostering creative skills, developing and sustaining a growth mindset, and just letting everybody express themselves a little differently.

Making My Case: A Literature Review

The following literature review will explore research into the benefits of deeper learning, the particular capacity of arts classes and creative projects to access those benefits, and the necessity of developing these skills for both students and teachers. This research will demonstrate the value of establishing an online Technology-Assisted Music course as part of the Chesterfield County Public Schools high school curriculum, and of developing a teacher-targeted version of this course to promote the course competencies across multiple disciplines.

A Man, A Plan....Or At Least A Proposal

Below you will find the most current version of my initial proposal for a plan to implement an online version of the high school Technology-Assisted Music course that I currently teach, with an eye toward helping both students and teachers in all disciplines develop and promote collaborative learning, critical thinking, and a growth mindset, as well as fostering creative skills.
