Variety of Educational Technology Resources
1. Songza
Chillwave allows you to access playlists of music that may go along with a given situation. This could be good for when a class is working on a writing assignment or simply when they walk in the room.
2. Web 2.0: Cool Tools for Schools
Neat website that contains numerous music related resources! Nice to have a space that brings so many together.
3. Jamendo
Hub where tracks can be "Stream. Download. Share."
The image below has information regarding how the music from Jamendo may be used.
4. Musescore
Musescore is free composition software that is easy to use. Musescore also has playback capabilities that can be used so students can hear what their composition sounds like.
5. Noteflight
Noteflight apparently allows users to write and share music. It seems that it could be used to embed music on webpages as well.
Noteflight Youtube introduction6. musictheory.net
musictheory.net is a great resource for doing in class, interactive review with students on things like note names and key signatures. It is also a great tool for students to use to practice at home on their own!
7. Public Domain 4U
"Publicdomain4u.com is providing access to this music for educational purposes. The written permission of the copyright owners and/or other rights holders is required for distribution, reproduction, or other use of music. Responsibility for making an independent legal assessment of an item and securing any necessary permissions ultimately rests with persons desiring to use any music on the site."
publicdomain4u appears to be a neat resource available to learn about neat music from the past. The site has downloadable tracks from artists like Louis Armstrong, Gene Autry, and others. Could be a great resource for learning about past hits!

Videos I may use in my future music classroom:
Podcast 1: Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders
Podcast 2: Marathon Journey - The Broadcast
Marathon Journey seems to be all about helping people get/stay on track to running marathons/different lengths of races. See more at: http://www.marathonjourney.com/
Podcast 3: Space Rocket History
Space Rocket History seems to be a series of Podcasts based around, you guessed it, the history of rockets. Some titles of their Podcasts include, "Sputnik 1", "Liquid-fueled Rockets", etc.
Podcast 4: Classical Music Free
"We provide Classical Music for Free. Various composers. J.S. Bach, G. F. Handel, Beethoven, Haydn, Vivaldi. etc. © 2012 Shiloh Worship Music COPY FREELY;This Music is copyrighted to prevent misuse, however,permission is granted for non-commercial copying-Radio play permitted-Www.ShilohWorshipMusic.com"
Classical Music Free showed me that there is straight up music on Podcasts, which I didn't realize. The music from the sight doesn't seem to be the best quality, but it's interesting to know that it's out there.
Podcast 5: Poetry Reading Series
Poetry Reading Series has multiple short Podcasts that appear to simply have audio recordings of the poems being read along with the text of the poems showing.
