Blogs, Wikis, and Google Docs: Which one is right for your lesson?
This wiki was created to support a 20 minute CUE Tips session at the 2008 CUE conference and was updated for CUE 2009. Blogs, Wikis, and Google Docs can be powerful and easy to use tools for educators, but their features are overlapping and it can sometimes be difficult to know which one is right to meet a given need. This session is an effort to help sort that out.

Elementary Music/Music Technology Blog » Blog Archive » 100 Music Education Bloggers List (not quite official yet...)
Dr. Joseph M. Pisano of MusTech.net began a quest to have 100 Music Education Bloggers by the end of 2008. I really enjoy reading his blog and many other blogs that are on this list and applaud and support his efforts of achieving this goal. As of December 16, 2008 he announced the “almost official list of 100 ME bloggers.” This is an excellent list! Though you can find it on one of my blog pages or you can go right to Joe’s site to find it too, I thought that I would include the list here so that you can just click and read some of these great blogs.
