Thing Six! Pandora Internet Radio

I chose to explore Pandora.  I have Pandora on my iPad and my iPhone and I use it all the time!  Pandora is a way to listen to music for free.  You choose an artist or a genre and there are stations already set up containing music from the artist you chose, and artists like them, or artists under the genre you chose.  I have a lot of country radio on mine!  Pandora could be useful in the classroom.  Students sometimes find it relaxing to have music playing as they are taking a test or doing classwork.  Of course, this would have to be school appropriate music.  If the class is learning about other cultures, Pandora could be used to play the music from that culture so that the students could experience what those people listen to.  I would also possibly use it for fun, like when the class has holiday parties.  Being a music lover, I could definitely see Pandora being used in my classroom!

  1. Emily, I also love Pandora and have it on my IPhone and IPad. I would of never thought about using this in the classroom without reading your post on Pandora! You have a few great ideas on how to use Pandora in the classroom.
