Grammy nominated composer, Eric Whitacre, has taken choral music to a new level using Youtube as his stage.  He has managed to bring together over 2000 singers of all ages and cultures from 58 different countries to perform one of his compositions together on a global scale without ever leaving their homes. 

Watch Eric Whitacre's TED Talk and reflect and respond to the following question:

  1. What is the role of technology in a project like this? What barriers does it help to break down? What opportunities does it create?
  2. In terms of sharing this vision with the world, how does a medium like this compare to doing this in the same physical space?
  3. What are some other applications for this technology?
  4. How could this model be used in schools, particularly ones with 1:1 programs?
  5. Could this model be used in other ways to address current global issues? If so, how do you see it being used?
