I’m really excited that Teachers College is getting into Web 2.0 by setting up a blogging community using WordPress at http://www.pressible.org. I think it’s going to be a great way to further all kinds of discourse, be it interdisciplinary or just within our program. There are a lot of possibilities for these.

— Right away, I think the main department website will be great for department PR, especially for events (I’m looking to put up a lot of media that I’ve been taking over the 2009-2010 school year).
— Student teachers can use a class blog to write about their experiences in the field and share advice and tips.
— The blogs can definitely be used to further discussion about class topics.
— Research blogs can update the academic community on project progress.
— Because a single username can set up an unlimited number of blogs, Music Ed students at TC can begin to build their online presence for when they enter the field by creating a space to hold a resumé and give prospective employers and collaborators a chance to see their capabilities.

Any other ideas? I’m sure I’m missing a lot!
