What’s up world? As you can probably tell by now I love, live, and breathe music. So for this weeks assignment I was determined to find a web 2.0 tool that I could really be useful for my environment. I found quite a few but the one that I had the most success with was www.soundation.com. This tool was very intuitive for any one that had a basic knowledge of sequencing.  The basic function is very similar to grageband for all of you Mac user. The lay out of this web 2.0 tool will be ideal for teaching my class the basic principles of sequencing while allowing them to stay creative as possible. The drag and drop feature of the copyright free sample are a great starting point for creating an original track.

When you open soundaton you get a blank slate. This workspace is preloaded with four tracks. These tracks can be used to sequence MIDI, VST's and live audio. This allows you to use samples or create completely original ideas. I created an original Idea analog and included a sample in less than five minutes.  Creativity is highly ranked on bloom's taxonomy. This web 2.0 tool will allow my students to create and record original songs that can be shared with the world. I love sharing my world music and passion for composition with my students and the world. Soundation can start students on careers in music engineering , arranging , composition and as an artist. Isn't that what education should be about helping students find their passion? Talk to you later…..
