 * This music technology website was created Dr. Joseph M. Pisano, a fine arts professor and trumpeter. This website is all about music technology. It's purpose is to help anyone in the music world who is interested in technology. I the bulk of the resources of this site are in the blog, but there are several more such as RSS feeds, links to other resources and podcasts. This site has great articles. I would give this website a rating of 5 out of 5 stars .**

=[|Music Teachers Blog]= []

This blog is part of a music education product company called Fun Music Company. Though they do sell a variety of great products, they also offer many free resources for music teachers. This blog allows music teachers to share ideas for lesson plans. The home website also includes free worksheets. This is a great website for the general music teacher who needs some fresh ideas, or for performance music teachers who need something to break up the block schedule. I have found this very useful. Though it isn't targeted to high school levals, the ideas can be modified. I would give this site a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. =Finale Blog= []

Finale is a music notation program that allows you to produce written music, scan-in music to be edited, and play-back music. This company, as part of it's main website, produces this blog to help program users. Because there are so many different characters and elements of music, notation in any program can be complex. This blog focuses on educating users on easy and more efficient ways to use the program, as well as new and unknown features of the program. This is a great site for program users of all levals. It allows you to learn the in's and out's of the program and save yourself hours of work. I give this blog a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.

This site had a lot of interaction from the owner. He expresses opinions, shares ideas, and makes good sense. While not generally full of teaching strategies, I really liked this person's "voice" and intellectual capability, as well as educational savvy. It is updated fairly often, providing current and up-to-date opinions and backgrounds. 4 out of 5.

__The Exponential Curve__
[] [|The Exponential Curve] A math teacher named Dan Greene created this blog as a space to "help generate and share ideas for teaching high school math concepts to students whose skills are below grade level." As a new teacher I enjoy reading the classroom anecdotes and reflections of experienced teachers. Dan generously provides files of lessons he created that readers can download as well as several links to math web sites that are useful to teachers as well as students. 5 out of 5
