11.) Demonstrate appropriate care of personal instruments.
Examples: assembling a clarinet, removing moisture from a flute, applying rosin to a violin bow.
There is not much to be found on the teaching of this lesson via "ISTE," but my solution to this would be to split the band into groups with different instrumentation in each group and then each group create a powerpoint presentation or photostory of their individual instruments. This could include a brief history of each instrument, how each instrument is assembled and disassembled as well as a picture of their individual group with their names.
This will not only cover this particular state band standard, but it will also give the students exposure and implementation techniques of common software on mac or pc. This will also help all the students in your class get to know one another and also reinforce group learning which is what being in the band is all about.
My assessment for this would be a few quizzes, and direct observation
