Introduction

One of the podcasts I listen to regularly is The Chromebook Classroom podcast by John Sowash. It’s a useful and interesting ed tech podcast even if you and your students don’t use Chromebooks. John does a regular “10 Links You Should Click” episode and I thought I might start something similar on this podcast – 10 Tech Tips and Links that I will share once a month.  It will be a collection of new, interesting or useful tech things to check out or try.

Looking for More Resources for Music Teachers?

Hello! I’m Katie Argyle – an Australian music technology trainer and consultant with a passion for helping music teachers through my business Midnight Music.

I’m a qualified teacher but no, I don’t currently teach in a school. I help teachers through my online professional development space – the Midnight Music Community – where there are tutorial videos, courses, links and downloadable resources.

I like to focus on easy ways to incorporate technology into what you are already doing in your music curriculum through a range of creative projects. I also run live workshops and have presented at countless conferences and other music education events.

If you want simple, effective ideas for using technology in music education, I would LOVE to help you inside the Midnight Music Community.
