Skeptics Article
They fear that technology will reduce variety of teaching and learning in the classroom and make it more predictable.
1950s: idea of educational television programs came out and people were outraged that they would educate the masses like that... (but we are fighting for student's attention on TV and this is the lesser of the evils! ah! -Bridget)
Argument made for teachers trying to change the way they teach to fit new technology and 'failing their students' in the process because they are struggling and their students grades suffer?
Teachers have been teaching the same way for years and now they have to change what they have built, they have devoted years to creating these programs with traditional modes
There have always been skeptics, in 1850 they were saying that students relied to heavily on pen and paper and did not know how to write on a chalk board without getting chalk all over themselves.... so this is not new.

Towards Convergence
Participatory Culture
How do people interact with music in their daily lives? Often/almost always it is through participatory settings, not performative ones
People create, perform, and respond to music in informal scenarios, not in concert settings or rehearsals
Participation in social groups making music—ukulele jams, pop music concerts, sing-a-longs, etc. Very few performance-style experiences
Participatory activities are the ways people engage in music, education should reflect that
Participatory experiences privilege the quality of the experience over the quality of the performance, and move the focus from being on what the students can achieve to what they can experience
Dewey-esque, restructures lessons around student interests, both in activities and in repertoire, and on what they will learn, rather than do

Determinism Article
Two Types of Determinism
-
Soft Determinism: technological change drives social change but at the same time responds discriminatingly to social pressures.
Technology Perspectives

-
Free Will: deterministic overtones are charged by the power of human beings to control their own fate, to organize their own worlds. There is tension between determinism and free will.
