WahWah.fm is a great web 2.0 tool for teaching and learning. If you are looking forward to becoming a radio program director or if you are just interested in getting some feedback on your mixes WahWah.fm is the tool for you. It allows you to broadcast your own music live from your smart phone (i.e. Black Berry, iPhone, Android, etc.). This can be music you like or music you have worked on personally. One may ask how can this be a learning or teaching tool. Creating a playlist and broadcasting it to receive feedback is a perfect example of how WahWah.fm can be a handy learning tool. How can this be a teaching tool? As a teacher I would have my students’ share there mixes with other classmates on a weekly basis. This will more than likely make them get more involved in the class. The requirements of the weekly project would entail the students picking a song of their choice, mixing the song that they chose to the best of their ability, and then broadcasting it for review. The setback to this web tool is the high possibility that not all of my students will have a smart phone. I would have to figure out a way in which I can get everyone involved. I would also need to be sure that the service is free and available on all networks (i.e. Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc). If this web tool could be used on computers such as Mac and Windows based systems it would be more universal and accessible for all.
