STEAM: Listening Technology over Time

FROM THE GRAMOPHONE TO THE IPOD

Explore the gamut of music listening technologies— from the record player to the MP3 player—in this collaborative, interactive program. Students are challenged to think critically as they make observations, compare and contrast, and eventually discover how and why these technologies have changed over time. Paired with time in the Museum galleries, this program connects music to the device on which it was played, providing a powerful look at the intersection of art, history, and technology.

Listening Technology over Time is also available as an asynchronous program. See page 24.
