When deciding where to present, two conferences came to mind. The Georgia Educational Technology Conference (GaETC) and the national conference sponsored by the Technology Institute for Music Educators (TI:ME). I chose the first conference primarily due to geography but also because of it's focus. What better place to present than to peers across my state who want to better use technology in the classroom. GaETC is open to all presenters who want to promote technology in the classroom therefore you can reach a full spectrum of educators. I chose the TI:ME conference because I felt I would have an audience who specifically understands the unique challenges faced by music educators. There is such a need for better means of communication between the teachers of the arts and parents. Because we are not thought of as a "core subject" we often are low on the priority list of parents wanting to be involved. This is unfortunate however, because it is often in my class where students really get to shine when they would elsewhere. Publish/Leadership Project:files.me.com/mrbrooks625/g4tpj3
