The site that I chose to explore was Pandora. I actually already have a Pandora account because I have the app on my iPod. I love Pandora. You can type in any artist, song, or genre and it creates a radio station with music by the artist you chose and similar artists as well or music of the specific genre you want. You can save these stations if you have an account with Pandora, and it is free to do so. You can access these radio stations anywhere that you have internet access. You can also either use the website itself, or if you have a phone or iPod that can use apps, it is a free app, or at least it is in the iTunes store. It is amazing. I think that Pandora could definitely be used in the classroom. If you were doing a history lesson, you could provide examples of the music of the time period. Or, if you were to have a lesson on influential individuals in music you could use Pandora to find examples of their music. Pandora is just really neat and I think that it is a great web application.
I LOVE Pandora! I use it all the time. It's on my phone and I've used it on the computer several times. I have an iphone and most of my itunes songs on downloaded on my phone but I still end up listening to Pandora. I love that it just gives you random songs that you will probably like. I love music and Pandora always brings back some songs that I have forgotten all about.
