It's not just for educators anymore

Blogs such as this one can, believe it or not, be useful for things other than meaningless rambles...like giving our students useful web links, advising them of various freeware, inspiring them with clips and articles that just might "float their boat" as it were, or just relaying perfunctory class information efficiently.

Plenty of students have loads of creativity that we don't give them credit for. Perhaps a good assignment would be to give them a project that is designed to make them find the best and most interesting site having to do with their daily activities in class, and then actually apply the lessons learned. Another idea would be to establish a class wiki dedicated to finding out as much about a particular composition while preparing it for performance.
