This is a cool website that will allow you to convert a file into another type of file. It has the capability to convert audio, video, image, document, ebook, archive or hash files into anything else! The audio file conversion tool could be particularly helpful in band. Many students like to download music on iTunes, but then can only play those songs on iTunes. Students could convert the file and then play it on any other type of music player. This would allow the music to be portable if they don't have an ipod. Students would be able to hear their music and practice their parts mentally from anywhere!

this loooks like a very useful site, with all the new audio and video formats out there, this would be nice to be able to utilize the various files without purchasing software that has a short shelf life

Dictionary. com is the largest and most trusted free, online dictionary. The site features a dictionary resource, thesaurus, flashcards, crosswords, and word games for homework practice and has an easy- to-use translator feature. When you look up a word, it not only gives you the definition but also an audio pronounciation, related searches, synonyms, nearby words, and information regarding the word's origin and history. As I approach my songwriting unit, I'm excited to have my students use this feature to find descriptive words as they write lyrics.

Digital library - check out audio books to listen to on your ipod, electronic books for your electronic book reader.

At this web site, students can hear pieces/songs that they are learning in their music class.

I use this site all the time. You can often print a few pages of the songs as well!
