Musicbridges Connections

Submitted by manager on Mon, 2007-06-25 04:33.

Rock Our World  is just one link I am finding out about this week. With the start up of Musicbridges, we are discovering just how many resources there are. Education, musicians, technology and art blend together to create the links featured in this week's blog.  Explore some of the people who brought these links to me and look forward to their possible participation in Musicbridges!

1. This year several elementary school teachers--mainly Writing Project teachers--from California, Colorado, Mississippi, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Oregon, and the Philippines sent each other podcasts and poetry and responses on a weblog, Youth Radio: Connecting Youth Voices to the World. These teachers also created a space where young writers and voices can connect with news stories about their communities, their schools and their interests!
