The Music Department at Lone Star College-Montgomery has received a C-TAC Grant from the Office of Technology Services to pilot a new iPod Touch program for its talented music majors. The initiative includes funds to purchase iPod Touch devices for students enrolled in the Field of Study in Music Curriculum, which includes classes in theory, ear training, class piano, music literature, ensembles, and private lessons. With the new devices, students will be able to:
* complete class listening and dictation assignments in a more efficient matter;
* submit class assignments through iPod Touch WiFi;
* access online class materials through iPod Touch WiFi; and
* record private lesson sessions.
This program supports the Lone Star College System's Strategic Plan and Vision: to increase the quality and quantity of technology services in support of teaching, learning, and administration.
The iPod Touches will be loaned to the students in the program, and students will be expected to return them at the conclusion of the semester. The Music Department hopes to start the initiative in the Fall 2010 semester.
