BP8_20091102_Ututti-Web 2.0 Tool in the Classroom


Ututti

This tool is going to save my life! Although this tool is focused towards the instructor, it is fabulous way for the instructor to get organized.

Ututti is a Web 2.0 tool that allows music instructors to organize their school information. This tool has many great features. Ututti allows the teacher to gather student information and use it intelligent ways. It also has the capability of placing students in certain groups/sections. It also allows the teacher to contact students according to their specific ensemble. Which is great when having a sectional rehearsal and need to get the information out to that particular group.

Ututti also has great library tool. Ututti will also organize your entire music library! And for those music instructors that have a music library, you know what a nightmare this can be if your library system is disorganized. It allows the instructor to number and name the pieces of music. And it also makes music searches easier. Searching can also be narrowed down by parts and/or composer.

And for all those music instructors that have problems with finances. It also has the capability of helping you with the money side of things. From collecting uniform fees to trip payments, Ututti is great tool that can help you with collecting money. And not to mention the fundraisers!

Being apart of secondary teaching can get very time consuming. Ututti has calendar feature that can help organize all your performance dates. Especially for those directors with multiple ensembles! With Ututti, performances, concerts and gigs can become organized allowing the instructor to focus on the students!

Two thumbs up for Ututti!

  1. Simple! Full featured! Amazing! I am not a music teacher myself but I find this tool to be awesome. I can see from your post how much this tool could assist a music teacher or band director. I work closely with the band director at my school and I will suggest that he takes a look at this tool. I think it could be a great help to him. Awesome find!
