Podcasts, Blogs, & Wiki's...Oh My!

This hands-on class will help general music teachers develop strategies and tools to support students in technology-based composing projects. Participants will create and use collaborative Internet-based tools including podcasts, blogs, and wikis to support and extend their own technology-based collaborative compositions. Application of these tools in settings from upper elementary through high school general music classes will be shared and developed.
