 **__Online programs for recording, uploading, mixing and interacting. Free! Michigan State University__**
 * Created by the Center for Language Education And Research at Michigan State University. The goal of the RIA project is to create tools that are informed by language acquisition research, and engage language learners in active learning. The RIA programs should be used as tools. There is no content in them, there is only functionality. The tools therefore can be used to support any materials. The same tool can be used by an advanced Spanish teacher, an introductory Japanese teacher, and a remedial ESL teacher. This is because the programs provide function, not content. Because all of these teachers might want to use the same function, the same tool can be used by any language teacher. In the same vein, the same tool can be used to support a variety of language teaching methodologies. One teacher might want to use the interactive exercise creator SMILE to build grammar-translation quizzes. Another might want to have students work together in teams to create games, for the whole class to play together later. The tool simply provides the interactivity. How it is used is up to the teacher.

 Pandora Radio - Listen to Free Internet Radio
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">Since we started back in 2000, we have been hard at work on the Music Genome Project. It's the most comprehensive analysis of music ever undertaken. Together our team of fifty musician-analysts has been listening to music, one song at a time, studying and collecting literally hundreds of musical details on every song. It takes 20-30 minutes per song to capture all of the little details that give each recording its magical sound - melody, harmony, instrumentation, rhythm, vocals, lyrics ... and more - close to 400 attributes! We continue this work every day to keep up with the incredible flow of great new music coming from studios, stadiums and garages around the country. With Pandora you can explore this vast trove of music to your heart's content.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">Just drop the name of one of your favorite songs or artists into Pandora and let the Genome Project go. It will quickly scan its entire world of analyzed music, almost a century of popular recordings - new and old, well known and completely obscure - to find songs with interesting musical similarities to your choice. Then sit back and enjoy as it creates a listening experience full of current and soon-to-be favorite songs for you.

Dvolver's founder, Ben Rigby, joined Dfilm as chief technical officer in the late 90s. His team's first task was to redesign Dfilm's website and to find a compelling way to promote the festival. During a brainstorm meeting, Ben devised the "MovieMaker" concept - it would be an easy to use tool for creating and sending online movies. With the backing of Dfilm's talented design and management team, the MovieMaker became a reality and soon became more popular than the festival. Over 2 million visitors made movies in the first month. It was a blow away success and continues to be used by 1000s of people every day.

I am fortunate enough to go into other teachers’ classrooms, and work with gifted people from all sectors of education. I love the use of technology in classrooms, but am very concerned about the many schools that want teachers to integrate technology only for the sake of integrating technology. I believe we should really focus on improving student outcomes in our decisions about the best ways to teach, and to prepare them for the world they may face when they leave school. I believe that we should look into ways of integrating technology that will allow students to learn in different ways, present their work in innovative ways, and that will allow students to make contact with students and teachers from all around the world. We live in a global community, and we should teach our students how to become global citizens with a true sense of both self and global communities. Vibrant learning communities can survive with the help of technology, but it is our responsibility to assure the best learning and social outcomes for the future generations under our care.
