 * Keynote and other Special Sessions **


 * Big Idea:** Arts Education and Music Technology Special Interest Groups
 * I attended the Arts Education and Music Technology special interest groups and was able to meet with technology focused arts educators from across the country. It was a very useful and beneficial networking opportunity. Here are some useful links:

During ISTE I gained many useful tips and techniques that will be useful for my instruction. One of the most interesting tools I discovered is the virtual instruments that have been developed by VJ Manzo ( http://www.vjmanzo.com). He presented at the Music Technology Special Interest Group session on alternative electronic instruments that are controlled by things such as Wacom Tablets and xBox controllers. I saw several presenters use Prezi.com and I want to start using it for my own presentations. The session on copyright info was very informative and I now have some good solid information to pass along to the other teachers. Overall, I feel that I received many leads on possible tools and technologies that will have a positive impact on my instruction.
