Assessment

I found this article and although it is not strictly for music I feel it is something music teachers can use.  It discusses the use of interactive rubrics where the students will scan and download their rubric for their assignment.  The downloaded rubric then has links to tutorials on how to do the assignment or explains in more detail certain aspects of the assignment. I found this quite interesting.

"Bouncy Balls" Helping Students Follow Music

I found this article asking if having students follow light up notes or a bouncing ball aid in their being able to follow the music.  I feel the answer would be yes and would love to find a way to have a ball bounce as music was going along on my interactive white board or to just have the notes light up, because I found myself pointing to the notes as they go and it would be easier to have the technology do that for me.
