TechTV: Piracy is Wrong. Period.
"David Lawrence, radio host of the David Lawrence Show, Net Music Countdown and Online Tonight, and an outspoken anti-piracy evangelist, appeared on TechTV earlier this year to make a case for ethical online behavior. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a movie must be even more valuable. Click on Video Highlight to see the segment for yourself. TechTV viewers had a lot to say in response, and you can read it all by following the links to Talk Back and the message boards. In Talk Back (at the very top of the page) you’ll also find links to additional TechTV articles on piracy."

Symphony of Friendship
"The Symphony of Friendship is a story told and illustrated by school children from Bando, Japan about the Japanese custom of playing Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony at Christmas. "This story was put on the Internet on Christmas Eve, 1995. It is a Christmas present to the children of the world." It tells the tale of a German soldier in a Japanese prisoner of war camp during World War I. As you read the story, think about the differences between how the Japanese children describe the POW camp, and your perceptions of what a World War I Japanese prisoner camp might have been like."

Surfing the Net with Kids: Piano Lessons
""The Internet has everything," I overhead one grandmother explain to another during an elevator ride. (Is it considered eavesdropping if you’re in a elevator?) I, of course, agree. The Internet even offers free piano lessons. I’m not suggesting that computerized piano lessons should take the place of IRL (Web talk for "in real life") lessons and practice, but these online piano resources are worth a look. If you have an up-to-date browser (most of these sites require Java) and a piano keyboard (electronic or otherwise) you can start your music education right here, right now."

Surfing the Net with Kids: Ludwig van Beethoven
"Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany on December 16, 1770 — and is known as one of the greatest composers in history. His work marked a turning point for composers, who had previously written primarily for religious services, or to teach, or entertain at social functions. But Beethoven’s music was listened to for pleasure. His pioneering work gave musicians a new freedom to express themselves. Happy Birthday Beethoven!"

Surfing the Net with Kids: The Beatles
"On February 9, 1964, the Fab Four from Liverpool made their first live American television appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, and started a peculiar type of hysteria known as Beatlemania. Last month George Harrison lost his battle against cancer, and music stores are reporting a surge of interest in the Beatles, both as a group and as individual performers. I grew up with the Beatles, and now, as we drive around town in our mini-van with a Beatles CD blasting, my kids are starting to sing along with me."
