Great post Doug, i agree absolutely! Teachers sometimes are far far behind the technical and graphical etc. posibilities! They should check out Amuso.

I sometimes put teaching in the same context as acting/performing. I like to think that good teaching is 90% drama – it requires rehearsal, good expression, funny bits etc. Keeping the kids enthusiatic about what's going on through playing music and being a bit silly every now and then is a great way of helping them to learn/

You're missing my point, Andy. I'm talking about beaten up, scruffy folders that have been re-used many times before! :-)
