Back to School with the Class of Web 2.0
This feed provides backgrounds and links on new web 2.0 tools that could be useful in the classroom or to teachers. For example today it sent me information on a online contract/handbook site that allows parents and students to view, sign, and save a class contract or school handbook. As a teacher who uses handbook contracts and instrument rental contracts this is a great site that would cut down on the piles of paper I keep track of. And for parents and students who prefer to do things online it will make their lives easier as well.
Banddirectors.com
This feed posts all new additions to the site. I will show me when top vendors are offering sales on instruments or supplies, when new live concerts are posted or interviews with conducts become available, and when new resources are added (for example a site of site of free mp3 files that can be used in your classroom).
British Journal of Music Education and its U.S. counterpart the Journal of Music Research
These feeds will send me all the articles in the next edition, which allows me to try and stay as up to date as possible music research.
