Communication Buildup
Criswell, Chad
Teaching Music, v19 n5 p30-34 Feb 2012
There was a time, not so long ago, when having a website for a teacher's music program was considered cutting-edge. But today, over 40 years after the birth of the Internet, everyone lives in an age of instant information. New online services and Internet technologies have changed more than just the interaction between teacher, student, and parent. They have also begun to change the way people communicate teacher to teacher; a good example of this is the growth in popularity of online forums and music-oriented professional learning networks. For tech-savvy teachers, getting the answer to a difficult classroom question or finding great ideas to add to one's next unit is now only a few mouse clicks away. The most complicated part in all this is knowing how to navigate the immense (and constantly growing) landscape of tools and services so teachers can communicate more easily without getting bogged down by even more busy work. For that reason, the author interviewed several noted music educators from across the country to find out what works online and what doesn't.
