//  I want to learn how to record myself. I want to learn music skills that will last me beyond H.S. How can I express myself musically on the web? I want to play the music I hear on my ipod. I want to learn how kids in China study music. // I want to learn more about music history through the eyes of interesting videos. //  I need to learn myself how to record, both the software and the hardware? How do I find sheet music (lead sheets) online? // freehandmusic.com, www.karaoke-version.com/, www.acekaraoke.com, royaltyfreemusic.com, cpdl.org, The Mutopia Project offers sheet //music// editions of classical //music// for free download.

 * Our task at hand is to develop a vision** of what 21st century skills would look like from the eyes of a student:
 * // What are the 21st century skills that need to be taught? //
 * // Will these skills require changing some of the things educators do?    //
 * // How do we incorporate them into our lessons? Integration of technological tools takes careful planning, using them effectively so students gain more than they would, say, if you did not use technology.
 * // What tools do we use and how should we use them? Tools that are immediate seem to have the most impact as well as tools that can show long term progress. Weekly recordings can help show progress as well as bi-weekly video.
 * // <span style="color: rgb(15, 1, 1);">What do the educational experiences and learning environment look like? A thorough, knowledgeable instructor that provides a nuturing, caring and safe learning environment.
