That doesn't mean students have to wait for the teacher to play it, or have to continually ask to listen while completing work. With Pandora, students can find artists and albums that they like and listen to a channel that plays similar songs. They can discover new artists, find other songs on an album, or share what they're listening to with friends.
Listening to music while working has the potential to energize, inspire, uplift, and set the tone for any work project. Students can also find great background music to play during a presentation, include in a video project, learn about for Band class, and start conversations with other music lovers.
One of the best parts for students is the ability to customize any 'station' they create. During each song they can select a thumb's up or thumb's down so Pandora learns preferences and plays songs that better fit. Pandora is a students personal radio station.
