Also we’ve just bought a new sound desk which connects to an pad, so I’ll be able to put Keith’s tips to good use!

There was a mention of one particular video winding up on FB, during the seminar I attended, which is why I wrote about it here. There are ways and means of pulling videos off YouTube and that may have been what happened here. I think it just pays to take care, that’s all, even if it’s a question of “just in case”. :)

It was great to catch up and also read through your quick over-view of MTEC2013. What a whirlwind it was.

I am spending some time going through your wonderful site and tweeting out articles. Keep up the great work and let’s make Music Education in Australia simply Awesome :)

Re videos ending up on Facebook, Youtube allows you to restrict your videos to only those who have your link (the don’t show up in a search) and most school have a ‘digital media’ policy or something along those lines which should cover student misuse of teacher recordings, etc.

I’m always up for a chat re music education and technology, and there are lots of others like us who can be contacted through various networks. I thoroughly recommend Twitter if you’re not a member already. Get a professional-only profile set up and follow tags like #musedchat. I also recommend joining professional networks like the Music Teachers Network (http://musicteachersnetwork.ning.com/). See you around the web! :)

I am typing this on my iPad. I have used it more in the last week than since all of Term 1 put together. My iTunes account has taken a hammering and I have read so many articles on music and education in the last few days…all because I created a twitter account. This year, I am back in the classroom after a 4 year break. I almost feel like a first year out teacher again. My head is spinning and like you, I am trying to break it down (Thank You to Evernote for this!) So many quality resources available to facilitate learning with our students. As James said in his keynote – “it’s never been a better time to be a teacher”.

I see we have a few things in common. My name is Darrell and like you, I am starting a new position with a school in Charlotte, NC. I moved from Richmond, VA. I have been teaching music for a few years and decided to move for a “change”. I think if we keep in touch, we can become a wealth of knowledge for each other. I would love to know more information about teaching music and technology in the classroom. Those interest and possibly more I think we have in common. Hit me back and lets chat!
