Use of a blog

Here is my attempt at using some of the information presented at our workshop this spring. Students in the Twenty First Century Techniques for Music Education class this fall will be asked to participate in a class blog. I will assign one student each week to discuss the technology (Finale, Band-in-a-Box, Publisher, PowerPoint, creating web pages, etc) or the jazz pedagogy we are covering that particular week, and then request class members respond to that blog entry. The class will also be introduced to WIKI and RSS by Rick Lindquist from IT. This year we will not have specific assignments using these options, but will consider using them in future classes.
