Project #13 Summary and Analysis

The responses that I have received so far have been very interesting and overall good. The form that I made was a quiz that was given to the students after they have viewed the lecture from my Smart-board Project presentation. The summary of my responses were ninety-four percent correct. The lecture was mostly based on the basic concepts of music theory. The students seemed to understand the concepts once my group finished our lecture and they were very enthusiastic about learning something that was new, which included pictures of stave's, various notes, and a keyboard.  My lecture was aimed towards students who are in middle school are in the freshman or sophomore years of high-school.

What did I learn from this? Teaching a student takes planning, time, and creativity. If a teacher wants to be successful, he/she needs to think about what type of lecture should be given to their particular age group. I learned that explaining the concepts of what you are talking about, and showing the students the facts visually can be combined to make effective learning students. Some students can learn by what they hear, and others can learn by what they see, so as a teacher I should be willing to make these adjustments at anytime. Another thing that I learned is to be patient, if a student asks me a question during my lecture, I should thoroughly explain the concepts to that student in a way that the second time that it is explained that student will understand the concept well.
