I know I haven't commented for a while, but I am super excited to be in your class on Sunday at NECC! Looking forward to meeting you there!
Be sure to say hello to my friend Valerie Byrd-Fort who will be in your precon in Anaheim. Cant wait to meet up for some fun in San Antonio! I'll be traveleling in the morning way before anyone on the west coast is even thinking about getting up.
So three trends classrooms are missing out on, to their disadvantage, are electronic textbooks, web-ready children, and music? I agree completely. Electronic textbooks are sources that provide a sort of audiovisual experience that students can control at their own pace, which is great. And web-ready students is simply a requirement these days, with technology going nowhere except further into the classroom. Music is just an all-around underrated means of educational technology. It's wonderful to use for children with aural learning dominance, and for class mnemonic jingles.
LC,
While I agree music is an under-utilized and important part of a good education, the E-Flat is more about the skills needed to survive in a a flat (global) world.
