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.
Some of the ideas in this site remind me of a project I did a couple of years back with some gifted 7th graders in composition. Basically, they made a portfolio of their own "loop" compositions from the time they spent creating it on Acid 5 (a music loop-editing program) Sonar, and Audacity and from the chatting they did online using Blackboard (web 2.0) as a tool. If I had to do it today, I could probably work it out in large measure using wikispaces.
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.
