April 19th Class

As a choral teacher I never really had the opportunity to explore any of the great tools available to me...or I just never even gave them any thought.  I mean, I teach chorus, why would I need to know about google docs?  Boy was I wrong.  After learning about this great tool I realized that there are lots of things that I can use this for.  One of the big ones that I thought of would be to use it for analyzing a piece as a class before we actually sing it.  Each student can comment on the different aspects of the piece.  This would be a great way to learn about the composer, the form, and how the piece should be performed.  
Since last weeks class, I've also become quite fond of Prezi.  It's so easy to use and makes a really interesting presentation.  This would be a great tool to promote the chorus trips to the parents, and explain fundraising, etc.
Looking forward to learning more!
