We are using Sibelius and Practica Musica in our music program. We have a =
1:1 program so we have a network user license that allows our students to a=
ccess the software as needed in and out of class. I know we've had a few s=
tudents plug their electric pianos/organs into their laptops to grab music =
as well. We also just ordered a whole bunch of software for an updated mus=
ic recording lab/studio. I can't remember all the software but I included =
in that was Logic Express (Mac) and ProTools.
Currently we are in the process of migrating from the Windows platform to t=
he Macs, so our video editing is split at the moment. We have been using A=
dobe Premiere Elements on the Windows laptops. This year the video teacher=
is exploring both iMovie and Final Cut. We have only been in session for =
3 weeks, so I don't think he's come to any final decision yet. We have als=
o used Adobe Premiere on a few special projects. We are using MacBooks and=
Lenovo Laptops and Sony DV Camcorders. We just purchased a few Sony Camco=
rders that record directly to SD cards which have been met with great excit=
ement so far - very small and no moving parts to break down.
We are currently doing podcasts, but that may be coming soon.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Music and Video - the tools of choice for schools
Hello all,
We're in the final dash for the end of the school year down here in New Zea=
land and are planning
and researching new projects to take shape for Jan/February 2010.
Our Music and English (Media) faculty (Middle and Senior Schools) are hopin=
g to update and improve
their current software and hardware in the coming months. They're proposals=
are taking shape - and
I'd like to offer a balanced view of the tools that schools and ed professi=
onals use for:
Music - notation and sequencing software (as well as the hardware that is u=
sed)
Media - video editing (and possible podcasting) software (as well as the ha=
rdware that is used).
Any thoughts or recommendations that you could all suggest?
Thanks for your input....
Regards,
Don
