TI:ME - LESLEY SCHULTZ

LESLIE SCHULTZ, OHIO CHAPTER PRESIDENT What is TI:ME?

Maybe you have been at OMEA convention and seen the table. Maybe you have come to a few sessions under the TI:ME banner. Maybe you have no idea what TI:ME is. Well let’s clear up some of the confusion, TI:ME is a group of Music Educators that use technology in their classrooms. That statement pretty much applies to all music teachers these days. The whole point of the organization is to help music educators around the world integrate technology into their classroom lessons. TI:ME sponsors sessions around the country every year at music education professional development conferences such as OMEA, TMEA, NYSSMA, NAMM and others.

We exist to help you find and use the resources to transform your classrooms with technology, whether that is having your students work through uploading playing tests through Google Classroom or other learning management systems or in getting yourself organized by using digital tools, like digital scores. We are here to support you in whatever way we can.

At our website www.ti-me.org there are countless resources available for all grade levels and disciplines of music from elementary through college. I want to personally invite you to get involved in our regional chapter of TI:ME, we hold meetings at least once a quarter via zoom. If you are interested in seeing what we are all about don’t hesitate to contact me to attend a meeting at lschultz@vikingmail.org.

At OMEA this coming February we have a wide variety of sessions that can help you use technology in your everyday teaching practice, whether it is sessions on Google, to Audio and Recording Tips, to using Smart Music more effectively there is something for everyone in the sessions that are planned for OMEA 2023. Stop by the TI:ME table and meet both national and regional leaders of TI:ME. We have a wide slate of presenters from around the country coming to Columbus to share their expertise. Hope you can join us in 2023 in Columbus for a great conference!
