Overview
Music is an important part of learning, some students need to hear music to identify with a subject. There are different sites available online to help teachers and students upload music into presentations, they include Freeplay Music and itunes. To be able to upload into documents ensure that you choose the correct format (MP3 seems to work well).
Strength
Using music helps some students fully connect with the subject, and it makes learning more enjoyable.
Weakness
Care needs to be taken to ensure copyright is not breached.
Opportunity
Music can be included in websites, wikis, movies, and slideshows.
Threat
Care needs to be taken to ensure that the music is in some way relevant to the subject or the instructional intent will be lost.
Compatibility to learning styles
Using music helps the musical learning styles, and makes learning more enjoyable.
What learning theory it is most used for (links to this blog site)
Music can be used as a reward for Behaviourism.
Meaning to me
Music is great therapy and a great tool to use in the classroom to assist in learning.
