This site comes through Thinkfinity and this puts a music site out there for the group to check out. Thinkfinity looks like its rich resources will come in handy. When doing a music search on Thinkfinity, I typed in the key words music education and left all other drop down menus read ALL because it yielded better results for the music teacher as such. In a web 2.0 situation where I am working with a group, I can give multiple assignment choices to provoke diversity and interest.
A rich video library from Europe with outstanding footage and music in such diverse fields as agriculture, energy, environment, medicine, health, the pure sciences. Breath-taking, great for streaming, multi-subjects.
Among other things, this web site offers podcasts of their exhibits. Some are for young children, middle school children, or teens. You can "subscribe" and/or embed them in your own wiki!!
Thousands of Free Lesson Plans and Educational Resources for Teachers ...Thinkfinity is here to help outside the classroom, too... This new Afterschool section provides you with information to help students outside of the classroom.
Trish and all,
Thinfinity is the primary site we used this summer in the Internet Safety Course. Thinkfinity is a gift from Verizon. Verizon sponsored a contest with netbook winners in our Catholic Schools. Even more important is that Verizon Foundation supports student scholarships. Our local group of Verizon Pioneers gets credit for everyone who links to Thinkfinity through this address: http://www.thinkfinity.org/home.aspx?source=pioneers
It is the same as the one you shared but it tracks useage for pioneer credits. Hope lots of folks will add this to school favorites.
