Inspiring Technology

This article is a nice reminder of the ways that technology can inspire students in the instrumental music program.  The Bay Shore High School instrumental music program is one of the most outstanding music programs in the United States and in this article, Ball (2004) outline the layout of the program and the way that technology is being used.  She even goes on to discuss students that have gone on to music technology careers based on the inspiration gained during their time in high school.  This story helped me to remember that constantly trying to find the best methods of integrating technology for my students is worth the time and energy because it may just inspire them to go to do something great.
