My colleagues and I had a blast working side by side in our Technology Assisted Music Learning course at #UFMUE! It was a wild ride! Feel free to explore my WebQuest at https://t.co/Kn9Ou2jmmO
Thank you for the experience!

Has anyone tried using #Noteflight's #SoundCheck extension with your students? Please, let me know about your success stories. Thank you in advance! #UFMUE

[Dennis Manson @DManson_Music]

Wow! Just wow! I can't believe how fun creating a WebQuest could be! It is definitely a game-changer for the modern teacher. Thank you #GoogleSites and #UFMUE for guiding me through the process.

Oh my, oh my! I am not much of a Apple user, but I have kept my iPad to take full advantage of the awesome productivity tools available in #iDoceo! Teacher planner, grade books, seating charts, data analysis, and much more! #UFMUE

Hey, gang! If you like Kahoot! but do not have devices for all of your in-person students, then take a look at #Plickers for quick formative assessments! You can print out and assign a answer card for each student. Technology meets low-tech solutions. Clickers, simplified. #UFMUE

Back in the day of my yesteryears and garage bands, we would mail ourselves recordings of our own songs as a "poor man's copyright". Don't be fooled! You must register your copyright with the #USCopyrightOffice to obtain any substantial protection. #UFMUE #TheMoreYouKnow

Have you ever heard of #Tomplay? I have used it with a number of my private lesson students. They really enjoy practicing their sight-reading skills with the accompaniment tracks! #Flymetothemoon #altosax #UFMUE

@yousician is a neat tool to interact with students in-person and at a distance. The application provides instructional videos and play-along tracks for piano, voice, guitar, ukulele, and bass. I have also incorporated some Orff-Schulwerk instrumentation for K-5 students. #UFMUE

Musical Influences and Personal Connections from Childhood to Adulthood - Engaging "the other 80%" with Self-Reflective Playlists. This is my story. What songs tell yours? https://t.co/8EMmJa2U7h #NowPlaying #UFMUE #Spotify

I have owned several audio interfaces over the last two decades, and I must say. . . my Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 (3rd Generation) has been an absolute beast! No mess, no fuss. Works well streaming private lessons and recording tracks for my students. Try it! #UFMUE #Focusrite

At long last! It has arrived! Ordered on August 16th. Received on September 11th. Nothing beats the real deal! Anyone else enjoy smelling fresh print as you crack open the spine of a new book? #BookWorm #UFMUE

My wife and I decided to dabble with the online DAW, @BandLab. "We Belong (You & Me)". This song is a testament of our sacrifices and struggles to provide for our family. https://t.co/HbDfYTxbte #BandLab

@john_kimble95 It is a neat tool to link student materials in a fun way. The only problem that I've found is that it is not compatible with some district learning management systems such as ItsLearning. Additionally, some #BitmojiClassroom's are overpopulated causing student confusion. #UFMUE

[Dennis Manson @DManson_Music]

Arranging and sharing scores with students on the fly has always been difficult due to the need to carry my workstation around. I am impressed with the easy to use interface and instant accessibility presented by @Noteflight! It is also a great tool for young composers! #UFMUE

[Dennis Manson @DManson_Music]

I have always enjoyed exploring @MuseScore's online community to find sheet music and arrangements, but I never bothered to download their notation software. Wow! I have been missing out on a lot of cool features! It is a great user friendly platform! #UFMUE

[Dennis Manson @DManson_Music]
