For Jonathan

A master's student at Illinois State University is quite interested in blogging for choirs. I'm helping him out a bit with some of my thoughts and I told him that he should contact some of my students to get some of their thoughts on the matter.

From his email:
Of course for our research project I need a certain number of article sources and I have not been able to find any that relate specifically to music education. I have found plenty about educational uses for blogs but none that pertain to Mus. Ed. I guess i am sort of stuck.

I have shown to our choral director some of the blogs that you gave hyperlinks to. She seems very excited about the prospects. Since I am one of her grad. assts. I am sure that will be one of my projects shortly.
I'm giving him this link to a presentation I did on, among other things, blogging benefits for choirs. Warning, it is a large 10 MB file. (presentation i did last summer)

This is a link to my notes/slides from the National ACDA Convention presentation. The one this past summer talks more about the Tablet PC, my latest technological passion.

Enjoy!
