This website provides short explanations on various aspects of technology and social media.

"This session will explore how to find and share resources with other music educators using a variety of social media services and tools. The focal points of this session will involve exploring where to go to find resources, how to bring the resources to you, how to save the resources for future use, and how to share the resources with other music educators. Please feel free to bring a laptop, tablet, and/or smart phone as this session will focus on hands on experience with the various services and tools."

A brief demonstration on how to use Diigo groups to collaborate with other music educators.

I use Pinterest as a resource for inspiration on how to use music technology. Look for boards related to music education or specific pinners who post quality resources. Even better, become someone who contributes to the community to help it grow.

I use Twitter lists to make it easier to sort through high volumes of tweet for information about specific topics. For instance, if I want to find out what people in music education are talking about, I click on my list titled "music education" and it only shows me music educators I have added to that list rather than all of the Twitter users I follow.

TweeDeck allows you to have multiple twitter accounts, lists, profiles, etc. displayed all at once. I use this tool on my laptop when I want to quickly browse my various Twitter lists.
