    Dropbox is one of the most popular cloud based platforms for hosting and sharing files. Like Google Drive, Dropbox offers a decent free storage space to start with and there is also the possibility to buy more storage capacity. Unless it is a Google doc or presentation, I always save my PDFs and other documents to Dropbox. What I like the most about this tool is its syncing capacities which are way faster than Google Drive. You can upload a PDF on your desktop and access it instantly on your Dropbox account  in iPad.

  • It’s true that the Internet can be a wild and woolly place to find information, with the potential for complexity, bias and reliability concerns. However, it is also the environment that most resembles real life, where complexity, bias and reliability concerns are just part of the way the world actually works.

  • There is no one way to make music, and there certainly isn’t one theory about how to make and understand music.
  • theories are generally descriptive representations of a style, not prescriptive principles to guide creative compositional work.
  • a musical theory is a simplified, expedient, and usually preliminary step in intertextual analysis.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • my personal goal for the core curriculum is to help students think critically and in detail about music, and to communicate clearly and persuasively about music.

shared by Aaron Davis on 28 Feb 14 - No Cached
  • Put simply, a digital footprint is what your students would see if they Googled themselves. And whether or not they know it, each of them has a footprint online. A digital footprint is made up of both passive information about Internet use and actively volunteered content.
  • Establishing a positive digital footprint involves more than educating our students about what they should choose to keep offline. We should also be teaching them what to publish to improve their digital image.
  • effective uses of student blogs engage others in meaningful conversations.
