Have you heard the story of Julie Amero? She was the Conneticut school teacher who was charged with four counts of endangering minors because of highly inappropriate images that started popping up on her computer screen during class. .jpg "Music Notes")
I have long been searching for a music notation editor that could be used online not only for me to use when not able to get to a copy of Finale or Sibelius, but also to use as a collaborative tool in the same vein as many other music oriented Web 2.0 applications. Now there is finally a solution for creating and embedding music notation in a blog or in a web page without the need for dealing with creating scores in Sibelius and uploading the Scorch files or doing screen captures or PDF's of Finale documents. Enter Noteflight, a new online music notation editor that looks great and makes it much easier to collaborate online. 
I had heard about Twitter a long time ago (some of my favorite podcast creators rave about it all the time) but until recently I had not been able to wrap my head around the potential that Twitter has for us as educators. It was not until attending a recent educational technology conference that I began to see the light, and boy was it bright!
The upgrade is finally complete and users can now see the newly organized Music Education Magic web site. There are a few minor problems still to work out, and a lot of fine tuning to do, but she's up and running with some useful new features and a slick new look.
The very popular Finale Notepad will soon be getting a major upgrade for its 2009 edition. New features are being added, but this most basic of music notation software programs will no longer be free.
