You should continue the balancing act that is your workload for this class. You are tweeting, writing posts for journal articles, working on your newsletters, and oh, yea, you probably have other classes too ;-)
Tonight, we will finally get into TaskStream, but just to ensure you have accounts and that you are self-enrolled in the Local TPE. Here is the code you will need: Local TPE: 6SG3BA. Last week I discussed that I expect you to complete the Technology Self-Assessment on your own. However, I will briefly cover the requirements in class. Lastly, we will learn a new presentation tool, Prezi, that you will use to create a presentation on the NETS for Students (See link on the left). Finally, I will ensure that everyone understands how to convert their classroom newsletter to PDFs!
This Week's Question: What is your current favorite musical artist or band? Currently, I can't stop listening to Portugal. The Man, who are in fact playing at House of Blues tomorrow. . .But my all-time favorite band is Radiohead
UUuuuuuuhhhhh.....That's a hard question.....Currently I'm listening to a lot of Deadmau5. I think my favorite band/artist of all time might be a tie between The Aquabats, Depeche Mode and Kenna. But I kind of listen to an odd mix of music and I like all of it. :D
ReplyDeleteI don't really have a favorite artist because I can't stand listening to the same thing over and over again. Since my ipod is out of battery and I can't listen to old school underground Hip Hop, I have been listening to the Spanglish radio stations playing mostly soft Reggaeton.
ReplyDeleteIt changes several times a year, but this summer, my favorite song was definitely Big Jet Plane by Angus & Julia Stone. That song is BEAST! Would drive around with it on repeat all summer long. Right now, however, I cannot stop listening to Adele's Someone Like You. I swear my heart bawls every time I hear it.
ReplyDeleteAt the moment, my favorite band is Calle 13. I really like Bob Marley, and Colbie Caillat.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot artists and bands that i like to listen, but if i have to choose among them I would say that i prefer Mana. Mana is a Spanish rock band, and I love all their songs.
ReplyDeleteCurrently my favorite band is Lady Antebellum because they just recently came out with a new cd and so I am completely obsessed. However, Taylor Swift is by far my favorite singer. I love every one of her songs!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite band of all time is They Might Be Giants. I've been a fan of their music since I was in junior high in the mid 1980's. I see them in concert whenever they come to town and they are so much fun live. I'm really excited because I am going to see them at the Bellyup Tavern in November which is a great small venue to see bands. Then I am seeing them again in L.A. this January for their 30th anniversary show. I also like a lot of other more indie and alt music like Sufjan Stevens, Grandaddy, Rufus Wainright, and The Shins.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite current band is Mumford and Sons. I love their music style and their lyrics are amazing. I have always been a fan of Dave Matthews and Mumford reminds me a lot of DMB. :)
ReplyDeleteJason Aldean...I have a concert to get ready for, so naturally his music is all I am listening. Obsessed.

My all time favorite band would have to be the classic London-based, but world wide known rock band Pink Floyd. I am sure you have all heard of them. One of my favorite songs by them is a song titled Time, I love listening to it when I go running. If you enjoy a good song to listen to when working out, or running download Time by Pink Floyd!
At this time I'm kinda hooked on Switchfoot, especially their 90's songs. Maybe its the time of year but it just makes me happy. My favorite album currently is "New Way to be Human" good old stuff!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I just listen to what is in the radio not really into something specific. I love all kinds of music although I really like this band called Lucybell that originated from Chile.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite musical artist will always be Andrew McMahon. He is the lead singer of the bands Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin. He's my favorite person, and when I went to his concert at Soma, I was just in awe of his talent.
ReplyDeleteo goodness. I am not sure if i have a favorite band. I know i recently saw Kid Rock in concert last month and become even more of a fan. I feel that in order for me to really like a band, they have to be 'all around' awesome band. I also really like the Killers!!! I saw them at street scene and I was blown away. I would love to go and see them again. I already really liked them when i went. SO i guess i would put them on the top of my list. they are great!!
ReplyDeleteWell lets see. I really enjoy listening to music and my music style is very diverse. But I mostly listen to country music. My favorite country music artist is Luke Bryan. Another favorite artist is Adele. Her music is very relaxing and I enjoy listening to it.
ReplyDeleteAlanis Morissette, Linkin Park, John Prine...it's hard to pick one. Mumford & Sons is a newer band, but I have been pretty obsessed with them lately.
ReplyDeleteI love all kinds of music but the band I've been listening to a bunch right now is Breathe Carolina!! :DD Love them!
ReplyDeleteI don't really have a favorite, but I love Zac Brown band, sugarland, and josh turner. Pretty much anything country is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteMost bands that I like are from the 60s and 70s but my current favorites are Bob Marley and J. Dilla
ReplyDeleteAs of right now I am obsessed with Regina Spektor. I can;t help it, there is just something about her voice. :)Listen on, listen on.
ReplyDeleteI honestly like anything and everything that sounds good. Recently I have been into things like Deadmau5 or Afrojack. I am also listening to Lil Wayne and The Game's new CD that just came out. In high school I listened to Sublime pretty much everyday. Every time I hear their songs it brings me back to the old days :-)
ReplyDeleteI love Paolo Nutini, Adele, Frightened Rabbit, and Mumford & Sons. Although I always love to listen to Motown and James Taylor.

ReplyDeletePlaylists are essential because my itunes contains a plethora of diversity... I appreciate different styles for ever changing moods of life. Currently, I'm sharing Cumbia Muffin with the world.
