In my Technology for Music Education class, we are working with some of the different notation programs now available. This exercise introduced us to www.noteflight.com. Here is my first attempt at recreating an original score using this program.

After watching the tutorials, I thought this program was going to be fairly simple to use. I still believe that it is, but it required more time than I expected. It's similar in nature to MuseScore, although I like Noteflight's more 'current' feel.
I think Noteflight is a valuable tool for the music education classroom. I already see myself using it create sight reading examples, ear training exercises, scales and warm-ups to practice at home, and the like. I like how Noteflight offers the ability to embed files into blogs or provide links for anyone to use. This will make it easy for me to share music, examples, etc with students and parents alike through class blogs, emails, and websites. I am not sure yet how well this program will work trying to create longer pieces of music. With a little more practice and experience I will be able to form a better opinion. However, for short excerpts I think it is great!
