Top Techs I Want to Explore

Tablet PC

I was surprised to find out that Sarah and Erin had not heard of the Tablet PC. I've been exploring them lately in the hopes of winning a grant to purchase one. I didn't get the grant, but I'm still following them pretty closely. If I were a student, I'd purchase one in a heartbeat. Check this site out for more information, ye students of mine: Student Tablet PC

By the way, the other thing that I wish that I had had when I was a student was MindManager. It is an incredible tool. Freeware version of mindmapping software can be found here.


Podcasting

I doubt I'll get into actually doing a podcast, but I'm interested enough in exploring what they are like. It does sound interesting and could be an educational venture for the choral director. We'll see.

Creating a Wiki

I see a real need for these in choral music. Especially a choral literature wiki.

del.icio.us

Looks interesting but I haven't figured it out yet. It looks like a place to store categories of links to places on the web.

There are a few others to mention but I've run out of time. Perhaps another entry later.

There is a choral wiki here, although it doesn't appear to have a great deal of info in it at the moment. Also, it's not part of the main wikipedia. But at least it's a start.
