Classic Cat
Classic Cat tool's purpose is for students to find classical music very easy. The website lists names of the composure's in alphabetical order, but you may also use a search bar to search a composer/song. When you click on a composer's name, it will bring the student to a page of everything that composer has written. As a teacher, I would love my students to use this tool to look up and be familiar with different classic composers. I would make it an assignment every week for a student to listen to a certain song/composer and write a short reflection on what they just heard and how it made them feel.
Music Theory
A very handy tool that I even use on a regular basis is Music Theory. This tool helps students to identify and study music theory. Music Theory provides lessons and exercises the students can review and practice outside of class. If we are studying music theory in the classroom I would assign my students to look up whatever lesson we just went over in class and to practice the exercises this tool provides. This tool will help the students understand and become very efficient in music theory.

Musipedia
Musipedia is a tool to help students find a melody that they know, but do not know what the song is called. Using Musipedia, you can base your search on a melody, melodic contour, or even rhythm. Students can find their song using a flash based piano, JavaScript piano, the mouse, or whistling/singing into the microphone. I would let my students use this tool to help them figure out a song that they know, but they do not recall the name to it. As an assignment, I could give the students a list of rhythms or melodies they had to sing into the computer and figure out what song it is.

Songsmith
Songsmith generates an accompaniment to match a singers voice or even an instrument. The student just has to choose a musical style and create a tune that they want Songsmith to accompaniment. They can also edit the accompaniment to how they want it to sound. As a teacher, I would have my students come up with a 30 second tune and lyrics to sing into Songsmith. The computer will then generate the song and then perform the piece to the class.

Lyricsfly is used to search artists, songs, lyrics, and albums. This tool can be very helpful in finding all the information about the song you would want to know. It also provides an Mp3 so the students can listen to the song while reading the lyrics. As a teacher, I would provide a list to my students to look up 10 famous pop artists. The students are then to list 5 songs and albums of what they looked up and listen to the songs.

eQuizzer
eQuizzer is used to make custom quizzes that students can take online. A teacher can create their own template, set the number of questions, and even write their own questions. After a student takes a quiz, the teacher can grade it online and give out comments for the student to read. As a teacher, I could create a quiz once a week to evaluate the students progress in the music class. I would do a five open response quiz the students would answer and I would also give them feedback of what they still may need to work on.

Wolfram Alpha
Wolfram Alpha is a research tool students can use to complete their projects/assignments. When using this search engine, students have to be very specific on what they are searching for. Wolfram Alpha can provide information about whatever the students need to look up. As a teacher, I would have my students research a select few of the famous composure's and have them look them up and give facts from this tool.

Copyright Free Images
The Copyright Free Images tool provides students free images from the public domain. Using this tool, students do not have to cite their photos because they are not copyrighted. Students can look up hundreds of photos from animals to landscapes. As a teacher, I would have my students use this tool to add pictures to their presentations. When giving demonstrations in class, I could also use these images for my own work.

The copyright images tool sound like a great tool to use for images. Even I have trouble finding royalty free images.
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of utilizing the web for quizzes. I think equizer would be an awesome tool because it will allow students to study for the big test exam. This method could possibly eradicate test anxiety.
