musictechforme.com is a "Music Technology for Music Education by Music Educators" site. I would imagine it just might be aimed toward music educators interested in technology. Yesterday's posting concerns hand-held recorders. It includes an MP3 clip of who-knows-what that I hesitate to open on my home computer for fear of viruses, but it seems pretty useful. I purchased a PDA with an audio recorder a few years back partly for educational purposes...I'll bet that a dedicated recorder would be just a bit more effective for the task of recording in a classroom situation.
Webedtech.com caught my attention with its June 14th, 2007 posting, "Cheat sheets - you know I love 'em." Who could resist reading that? As it turns out, the posting provides a link for cheat sheet info on Microsoft Office and other applications. Who needs the uber-pricey Microsoft manuals when you have access to this kind of stuff?
...which reminds me of another excellent freebie that a friend just days ago referred me to, Open Office. It's the product of an "open-source" project. It gives you a suite of applications eerily similar to (and totally compatible with) Microsoft Office apps...and by all accounts, it's legal. And you thought you were a slave to the wavy window icon! Google "Open Office," and you'll see.
Are you a parent of a 2-year-old who wouldn't mind figuring out how to educate your child using music? I am, and I found a neat little blog at this address that seems to take the issue seriously: http://simplesongs.blogs.com/head_shoulders_knees_and_/
I haven't investigated it thoroughly, but it looks fun.
