Enhancing student learning with technology implementation in the classroom has become a major teaching tool for many ISU professors.David Stuart, associate professor of music, will be speaking on “Using Technology in Performance-Based Teaching Presentations” at noon today in the Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall in Music Hall.Stuart was chosen as one of the six master teachers of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences for his use of advanced technology as a source for teaching large lecture classes. He said he uses a mixture of audio visual resources in the upgraded recital hall.The use of power point presentations, CD laser discs, computers and audio visual tools help engage students in appreciating music on a whole new level, Stuart said.Being acknowledged as one of the master teachers is exciting, he said. “I’ve done this kind of thing for quite awhile, and it made me really happy to be chosen,” Stuart said. “It’s really gratifying to be acknowledged to be teaching 100-level classes.”He said he hopes his presentation will benefit others. “One of the things that happens is that some people are hesitant to use technology because they don’t have time to learn the stuff, or they don’t know it’s available,” Stuart said. “Hopefully it will give people an idea of how they can incorporate what is shown during the lecture into their own classrooms and teaching styles.”Lee Haugen, faculty development specialist for the Center of Teaching Excellence, said he has observed Stuart’s teaching style. “David uses technology to engage students’ senses as they listen to music,” he said. “The more senses you engage, the better students will learn it and retain the information.”Stuart has also designed a new text which goes along with the music and audio visual resources, said Peter Orazem, professor of economics.Corly Brooke, director of the Center of Teaching Excellence, said using technology as a teaching tool is an exciting experience.”They seem to be quite innovative techniques of engaging all the senses and learning about music theory,” she said. “I think it’s going to be a really dynamic workshop.”
