Grade 7 students mash up some audio files from different styles and genres of music to become their own DJ’s. Here are three eclectic samples from Diedrea, Carlo,and a mystery performer. There is something here for everyone. Let them know what you think.
Mr. Howrey and his students invade the Business Office and perform a awesome tune. Inspired by Stomp! the world-renowned rhythmic performance troupe, this group of students needs to be seen as well as heard.
Just in time for the holidays coming the latest video from ISM teachers! Mr. Dingrando uses fellow teachers and even security guards to go round and round and round and round and round and round…
Keep an eye out for the clever filming and editing tricks that he uses.

Continuing in the podsafe music mode, here is a great little song reminding people that you don’t actually need an iPod to listen to online music! Students in our class know that they can listen via their RSS Agrregator (in our case, Netvibes, as it has an embedded audio player.)
I have been investigating what music is “legal’ to use on podcasts. After investigating, I now understand that some music is considered “podsafe.” In short, if you are using certain music in podcasting or for your own non-commercial use, then the artists give you permission to use it.
Mr. Dilworth explains more on this topic of legal use at his blog. Check out the link on the lower left.

“If Every Day Were Christmas”
The song is a collaboration between 32 singers from 9 countries — a group collectively known as Podsafe for Peace — all brought together by the populist phenomenon of podcasting and the desire to pool their talents for a worthy cause. And few causes make more sense at Christmastime than UNICEF, which aids children in need around the world. The song was produced by Slau and co-written by Orlando Pagan.
