Pandora Saved the Day!!

Just like most of you this is my first time blogging, I think. When I was in college we used a system called D2L that allowed us to post comments and answer questions within our class. To me it seems like a similar concept but we didn't call it blogging. Just like someone else mentioned, I may have been using Web 2.0 concepts and I didn't even know it. 

I am excited to say that I was able to use Pandora today and it saved the day. I subbed in a kindergarten classroom right after lunch. This is the time that is supposed to be "quiet time" but because they have recess right before most of the students are riled up. A little light bulb went off in my head about 10 minutes into the "quiet time" that I could use Pandora to play some soothing music. The kids loved it! They settled down right away once the music was on. It was awesome!

After looking at all of the music sites I found Pandora to be my top choice. It is easy to use and has a pretty wide selection of music to choose from. I also liked Slacker.com but after playing with it for a while decided that I liked it better for my own personal use rather than for use in the classroom.
