A1: I like using Feedly to organize blogs I've curated into sub-groups, which helps to reduce feeling overwhelmed. #pdinpjs

A2: Yes! The hardest part for me is deciding on a topic to write about, then gaining the courage to share openly without fear. #pdinpjs

A3: I read a blog post about another music teacher's behavior management system. I'm excited to try some of those ideas this fall! #pdinpjs

I, too, LOVE Feedly and would like to keep up w/it.#pdinpjs

A4: blogging on a regular basis. Also replying to others' posts - interacting online is important to aid sharing of ideas #pdinpjs

A5: I can take what I find useful for me & my classroom and share it with my students; modeling is key #pdinpjs

Thanks!!! #pdinpjs

Roxanne, elem GM in MA #musedchat

A1: We're in the process of aligning w/common core, so I think we'll adapt as we need with similar goals as general ed areas #musedchat

Thanks! A1a: I think we'll have standardized rubrics aligned with common core goals. I'm sure NAfME will be working on them soon! #musedchat

Thanks for sharing those links! And yes, CC does seem like it's a new fad, but it also supports music w/ those connections #musedchat

A2: If our society doesn't support them professionally, then maybe. But as an educational vehicle for creating & making music, no #musedchat

Remain open-minded, find the positives and how to take what will work for you and your students and leave the rest #musedchat

that was A3

Thank you! #musedchat
