Music in the classroom!

When Louis Mangione was here he really hammered the fact that our 21st century students are different. One of the differences he highlighted had to do with music. He made a very valid point about music changing the dynamic of your classroom. This post is to introduce you to music - web 2.0 style. The music engine of choice (today) is http://www.playlist.com/. Playlist allows you to create multiple playlists that are to be streamed directly from the playlist.com website. The part of playlist that sets it apart from the others is that you are in charge of picking each and every song on your playlist - in the classroom that translates into having complete control over the content you are playing. He recommended music that is right around the beats per minute of our hearts. See what you think about my little playlist over on the right...and create one of your own!
