Wah Wah .fm is the Web 2.0 tools I found to be the most useful. It gives me the ability to allow my students to post their mixes and other songs they like. I would have my student post their favorite mixes. For example, if my student loves the new Jay-z song, and they feel like the mix is incredible, they can make a playlist and broadcast it so other students could hear it. This will give the students a since of “power” and would be fun for them to do. The down side to this app is that its only “cell phone base” and is only available for the iPhone. If this app would work on all cell phones or even online, it would be a lot better. The students of the future need something new to keep them motivated, and Wah Wah .fm could just do the trick. Allowing the user to post their ideas in a radio format was a great idea. Almost every engineer I know or even a music lover likes to show off his or her work or taste in music. Just think, students like to be on their laptops or their phones anyway. Why not give them work to do on the laptop or phone? This would definitely be a new way of teaching or at least getting your point across to students, which is extremely important. I’m really looking forward to using the web2.0 app in the near future in an effort to spark some new found inspiration, motivation and focus in my students.
