Shawna Sabransky commented on Carol Broos's blog post 'Help! How do you get GROOVY music to work on a Promethean Board?'

Oddly enough, the program works on the older boards in my building, but every time I launch it on my computer while connected to the board (a 300Pro), the board freezes and stops recognizing the pen. I can't even calibrate. Any suggestions would b...

It is more likely there is a problem with her Groovy software. Having the Promethean Board should not make a difference. She should contact Sibelius Support. They are wonderful and should be able to help.

Well, here it is www.weeworld.com/ You can create an avatar that best looks like you, it has a variety of clothes, settings, and additional objects. Try it out! You'll love it!

Musicans are the BEST people.

You will see this post all over my blogs. I recently came back from the Michigan Music Conference in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I drove three hours, arriving around 5pm. As I got out of my car to get my backpack, I realized that it was quite light, and looked inside - I FORGOT MY LAPTOP.

I'm curious if you have any knowledge about the Full Sail Education Media Design and Technology Program. I've been trying to look online for any reviews of this specific program, but have been unsuccessful. If you have time to enlighten me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

I was looking at your site through Sunset Ridge earlier and it looks like you are doing great stuff with your music students. Thanks for sharing with all of the rest of us!

It was great meeting you at a conference call for Vermont Midi last week. I think Web 2.0 has great potential for marketing and spreading the word.
