Welcome back and happy Friday-eve!  If you missed our podcast last night, you can check it out here.  If you already watched it, thanks for tuning in!  Today we start with a new post from Adam Renfro atGetting Smart on "Going Hollywood in the Classroom."  In the post, Renfro discusses how the "Hollywood" Model (i.e. collaborative and project-based) can be implemented in the classroom and what the possible benefits would be.

Next up, Katie Lepi at Edudemic covers some"Must-Have Facebook Guidelines for Educators."  As the post mentions, there are tons of awesome ways to utilize Facebook in the classroom and if you are using the site (or are considering it) Lepi has some excellent guidelines that are worth thinking about before you virtually connect with your students.

Having been a pianist for the better part of the last 30 years, any post/tool that focuses on getting music instruction out to more people is a wonderful thing in my mind.  Emerging Ed Tech has a great post today on "Four Resources that can Enable Suzuki Method Instrument Instruction Online."  If that's up your alley, there are some great ideas!
