=Professional Development Plan=

Goal #1: Increase knowledge and practical experience with the "Airliner" that was recently checked out to me.
An Airliner is a tablet that functions as a remote control for your computer. This will enable me to be more mobile in the classroom. It will also obviate the need to continually move the computer back and forth from the sound cabinet to the center of the classroom (this is difficult to envision...the reader will need to see my room to understand) Also, in teaching AP Music Theory, I will have opportunities to use the highlighting function while pointing out places of interest on a musical score for example.

Goal #2: Learn a programming language.
There are a number of free resources available for those interested in learning code. I intend to take one of these up this summer (after completing the Masters Degree). This will enable me to design my own technology based educational resources for students and teachers
