Proposal+rough+draft

Technology is rarely used, if ever, in the elementary music general classroom in the Syracuse City City Schools. The project proposes to explore the reasons for this limited access and in what ways the technology that is available can be used in an actual general music class at LeMoyne Elementary. A needs assessment will be done using a tool called "Survey Monkey" that will be sent on the Syracuse City School District's list serve for all general music teachers. The results can be broken down according to elementary, middle and high school levels, quadrants, and then compare this information with what is happening at LeMoyne Elementary School. Based on the survey findings, We can get a better understanding of the use of technology in these schools, and offer recommendations to make accessing techology easier for teachers. After one lesson using technology has been done, a final survey on technology use and attitudes towards using technology will created.
