Web 2.0
Web 2.0 is the hottest buzz word in education.
1. They’re free.
2. They’re everywhere kids can get online.
3. They’re generally easy/intuitive to use, hiding the complicated part of music technology.
4. They tend to foster creative expression, an area of special interest I’ve been emphasizing in my music teaching.
5. They foster collaboration.
6. When you want to work in groups, it’s generally easier to get in a general-purpose computer lab than a specialized “music tech” lab.
7. You don’t have to worry about loading programs or storing files with Web 2.0 apps – this is all done for you “in the cloud” (out on the Internet on the servers for the various sites/apps).
8. Web based applications run smoothly on minimum system requirements
There is no excuse for not implementing technology due to financial concerns!
