On June 20th, Saturday Morning at 10:00 a.m., I along with Profs. Brian Moore (University of Nebraska-Lincoln), Stefani Langol (Berklee College of Music), and Dr. James Frankel (SoundTree/Korg) will be holding an open plenary that discusses the role of Technology in Music Education.
Our discussion will center around:
1. The role of music technology in the music curricula.
2. What should teachers think about when considering the implementation of music technology into their programs.
3. How does Web 2.0 apply to music.
4. What about professional development and opportunities to learn new technologies for existing teachers.
5. Fostering and creating creativity through the digital means of compostion and other music-related computer aided programs.
6. What does the future hold for technology in music education.
If you would like FOLLOW this conference on Twitter, we are using Twitter hashtag #menc09 (note the zero not “O”) for this session. I would encourage any and or all of you that read MusTech.Net to follow along with us and let us know about this experience as it has never been done before as far as we know. (I will also be twittering from the conference under my own Twitter account -See my Twitter sidebar for the link to follow me!)
I look forward to meeting up with a number of you down there and have already made plans to meet up with some folks that I know only through written or digital correspondence or from my site. The best time to meet up with me will be directly after our session. Drop me an e-mail via the contact form on this site (see tab above) if any of you are making the trip to the conference.
Joe- I am looking forward to getting to meet you and am extremely excited for this opening plenary! I am already here in Washington, and the event is going extremely well so far! So you and your readers know, I have a live-blog which is aggregating all MENC tweets with any tweets tagged #menc09 or #musicedweek. You can follow along here:

Joe, it was great getting to finally meet you in person this weekend after being a part of the ME Blogger Campaign last year. Chis and I had a great time with all of the sessions this weekend! Keep up the great work!
Joe,
I’m curious, was anyone talking about Indaba Music as a tool for music education? (www.indabamusic.com)
I am particularly interested to get the details on points 2 and 3
2. What should teachers think about when considering the implementation of music technology into their programs.
3. How does Web 2.0 apply to music.
Where is the correct area that I should be looking for this. I was too late for the live blogging.
Thanks
Adirec
