[senit] Switch access to music and video

If im being terribly honest we may be missing the

In media studies, what you suggest is great, but I
would like to use music more across the curriculum, in
ICT ways.On the lgfl are some "maths raps", thus
covering content and pop style. Most maths
rhymes/songs are too young for secondary students with
SLD.Nikki Davies does some great cd songs for the
curriculum, but they aren't really poppy and are aimed
at primary.In primary SLD classes there is often a
song for everything;in secondary there isn't .In quest
life story videos (RE) there are some pop songs
covering "issues". I would use a balance of curric
related songs & straight pop songs in materials made
in powerpoint/switchitmaker/clicker for example. I
just need more of the curric related songs,much in the
way that games style programs, could be useful in
education. For the student's recreation , or where
extreem motivation is needed straight pop is fine.
