3. Successes & Challenges
Most account creations
took mere minutes
Introduces new
opportunities for
students with iPads
Majority of students
already have Twitter
accounts
Glogster has many uses
in a general music class
LinkedIn interface is
somewhat overwhelming
to new users
Glogster interface is
glitchy
Uncertain if I should

Time required to
maintain all accounts

4. Moodle & Online Learning
As a busy musician, Moodle has provided the
perfect method for me to take courses at my own
pace. I very much appreciate the asynchronous
method of project submission. I also enjoy reading
the provided articles and learning about each new
tool at my own pace. If I had my way, I would take
all of my graduate courses online!
