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. 
SmartMusic is a great product that has totally changed the way I teach in many ways. Despite how much I think using SmartMusic has improved my classroom I still have a wish list of stuff I would love to see in future releases. I'd be very curious to see if anyone else would be interested in the same things.
