@ITeachChem2 @LaurenAngelone I absolutely love becoming an educator due to the loosened restrictions on copyright! I know I still need to be careful, but copyright becomes much less of a problem due to the “it’s used for education” excuse! #xuedchat

@MontessoriLaura @LaurenAngelone Hamilton if my program is free or selling tickets based off of a dinner or dinner service! I might be wrong on specifics though, feel free to correct me! #xuedchat

[Simon Gabel @GabelSimon]

@MontessoriLaura @LaurenAngelone Yes! To my knowledge, in the choir world/musical theatre world, music that is used for free events or where you ticket costs are based on a concession item (dinner, dessert) copyright needs not be worried about for songs! Ex: I don’t need to worry about copyright for “Burn” from

[Simon Gabel @GabelSimon]

@LaurenAngelone with these laws could prove dangerous and unlawful. The only copyright law that I was previously aware of was the time it takes for things to enter the public domain #xuedchat

[Simon Gabel @GabelSimon]

@LaurenAngelone A1: The most surprising copyright fact I learned was the saved images break copyright laws. As someone who has saved things and presented them, this causes some tension and fear! I feel like many teachers should teach basic copyright laws. As a future teacher, my own inexperience

@LaurenAngelone A2: While this doesn’t apply in most ways to the choral classroom, some easy ways to ensure students aren’t held back by availability and knowledge of technology is by having paper versions of syllabi, music and various assignments that maybe given. #xuedchat

[Simon Gabel @GabelSimon]

@LaurenAngelone A1: The biggest thought I took away from this was that while many kids have access to technology, not all know how to use it appropriately and efficiently. Technology classes in middle and high school are good for this, many fall short of many meaningful marks. #xuedchat

I really like this picture, as it’s one of the first times I conducted a group. It was during an observation and I was so nervous. I can’t wait to do this everyday! #xuedchat

During the Podcast Loop assignment, I learned just how easy and fun it is to manipulate the Logic loop library into interesting songs, how to write my own midi tracks and how to use the basics of logic music production in a whole new way! #docidonedidit

@Brass_Piano I’ve heard this on tiktok so much recently, but didn’t think they had done the full song. Now, knowing that not only did they do the full song, but Salvador helped makes this even more funny and enjoyable!

[Simon Gabel @GabelSimon]

@chancellor_waye I love this song! I sang it for a Christmas concert junior year, along with other selections from the album and it was amazing! I completely understand what you mean!

[Simon Gabel @GabelSimon]

Another current favorite song that I’ve been listening to is The Kings Singers arrangement of “And So It Goes.” While the piece is simple, that calming, repeating chord progression lulls one into a sense of emotional ease, while the lyrics hit home. #docidonedidit

[Simon Gabel @GabelSimon]

Melodic line from throughout the song at the end is really fun to listen to. Mixed with the interesting story and the pleasant vocals, the song is something I’d like to reproduce someday, or take ideas from and add them to a personal arrangement.

I’ve been listening to Disney’s Encanto Soundtrack, and the ear worm “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” has been a frequent listen of mine. The simple chord progression that is repeated again and again throughout the song is addicting, and the stacking of every single… #docidonedidit

@HewstonGloria @michellemosier Honestly, I felt the same way. My church had never discussed the story of the women of Shiloh, the Teminite Woman, or the Levi’s concubine. Women like Hagar and Tamar were villianized and I believed them. This class has really helped understand their stories a little more.

[Simon Gabel @GabelSimon]

@JannaRaeber @michellemosier Hey there! I completely agree. This class has been interesting and valuable obviously for hearing about these stories and reading the texts, but also for understanding how to take a new perspective on already set opinions and stories. #qotw14 #drmtheo111

[Simon Gabel @GabelSimon]

@michellemosier #drmtheo111 #qotw14 the most important thing I learned this semester was that even the Bible can’t tell the complete story. Sometimes we need to take a closer look at some of these stories before we villainies and demonize some of the people we’re told to. (Hagar, Sarah, Delilah)

@PeropatKristen @michellemosier Hey Kristen! I really enjoyed your thoughts on this parable! I had a similar interpretation, but I personally viewed God as the separator of the good and bad “fish” even though it could just as easily be angels. #drmtheo111 #qotw13

[Simon Gabel @GabelSimon]

@torilynchaaa @michellemosier I really like your views on this parable! While it isn’t my favorite parable from Matthew, your interpretation is interesting! I think that your comparisons are realistic and translate to the modern day! #qotw13 #drmtheo111
