Thing 6:

I chose to explore Grooveshark because I love music. I had heard of Grooveshark, but never checked it out. It is very similar to iTunes and Pandora. You can upload music to the site. You can create playlists which might come in handy in the classroom. You could have a playlist for transitions between subjects and activities. You could make playlists for each subject. You can search by song title, artist name, or album name, which is very useful. The only thing I did not like is that Grooveshark does not have stations for similar sounding artists like Pandora does. However, it does have stations sorted according to the genre of music. This site could be used to help musically intelligent students that might be in the class. Grooveshark could prove to be a very useful tool in the classroom.
