A Rave Review for iTunes Radio

Playing background music while students work can be an effective way to create a mood and enhance learning. Now you have even more options with the hundreds of stations available through iTunes Radio on your computer. When you open iTunes and click on Radio, you will see several genres listed. As you click on the small triangle to the left of each category, a list of stations will appear. Just double-click on a station and enjoy some wonderful music! You also can bookmark your favorites by creating a playlist, naming it "Radio Playlists" or something similar, and dragging the station(s) into that folder.

These new musical options can make your classroom "out of the ordinary." Of course, you may need to create a fair way to select which radio stations to play because your students will have definite opinions!
