Social Networking Sites

Does anyone know of any local school districts, music directors or classroom instructors that are using any of the major social networking sites, (MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, Ning), to publicize, interact, connect with their students and the community? I know there are some great music education departments that are using the sites across the state/nation and was wondering if anybody as any local leads.

Copyright Issues

Since copyright is always a big issue with music educators, here is a plug for James Frankel's book "The Teacher's Guide to Music, Media, and Copyright Law". http://www.copyrightbook.net Also, check out this video about Fair Use: http://jamesfrankel.musiced.net/2009/03/21/copyright-or-copywrong-part-20/ From all the accompanying material it looks like a good book to have/peruse.

So, how many apps do you have on your iPhone?

You might have heard about the Ocarina App for the iPhone. What I think is amazing is that "you blow into the microphone hole at the bottom of the iPhone", to create the sound; and you can use the iPhone's GPS capabilities to find out "who's playing the thing right now, all around the world."

Thanks for the info . The hyperlinks don't work in your email, though. You should throw your ideas out there for public consumption. It is a great idea and I'd like to see more of what you are doing with it.

John, how are you using blogs with your classes? What kind of assignments do you make and how do the kids respond to you? I heard you use them pretty well, but I have no great ideas for what to do with them.
