[senit] Switch access to music and video

Do any of the applications you have set up at school

thanks Sally, your powerpoint pop video guide has
inspired me to have another go at this in training
sessions with staff. Students do love pop videos,any
ideas how to make them more "educational"?! in
content. eg instead of only watching britney or
whoever, on a pop video she could be holding a
symbolled sign saying don't do drugs. that is not a
serious suggestion but how could switch pop videos be
more incorporated into lessons-
literacy/maths/pse/humanities etc more ? I suppose the
content of the song is important.anyone done a
cross-ref of popular songs with key themes/concepts?!
