I recently got introduced to Blip.fm by @mebner who many will know from his Tweets.
Now whilst it’s great to be able to pull up such a great list of music from all genres it also struck me that this could be a tool for music teachers to get their students work out to a wide audience like parents, other students, other teachers etc.
You can upload any work if you have the copyright to it. Must dig out some of my old compositions, get them into Sibelius and put them out there. (Yes I took music at teacher training college).
What could you do with Blip.fm?
When: Friday 21 November 15:30-16:30 NZ Time
Presenter:
Carol Cooper-Taylor
Cooper-Taylor Training & DEANZ Committee Member
About the Session:
Carol will explain what a blog is, how to blog and how to use blogs in educational settings. Using some examples of educational institutions’, teachers’ and students’ blogs Carol will show participants how diverse the world of blogging is.
A blog can be what you want it to be and you can do with it what you want.
Presenter Biography:
Carol has had what she describes as a “career less ordinary”, having worked in the health and education sectors. She has been in junior through to management positions, from student to teacher to staff developer, in the private and state sectors. With the move to New Zealand in 2002 Carol has had the opportunity to work on “flexible-ising” curricula at the University of Auckland Medical School. Before establishing Cooper-Taylor Training she was the Manager of Teaching and Learning Services at Lincoln University.
Her passion is engaging, interactive learning and teaching, and this spills over into creating business sites and teaching business women and men to manage their own applications.
