A couple of months ago I wrote this post about allowing individualized playlists in the classroom. What I have noticed is that after the initial excitement of something new there has been zero interest.
I have even reminded them, occasionally, of appropriate times that they could be listening to music. It is not that they don’t have music with them, most of them have a device in their bag, they simply don’t choose to listen.
Now I am wondering why. So many times we hear how students want to be listening to music while they work, but in my classroom that does not seem to hold true.
Thoughts?
Being who I am, I truly appreciate music while I work, unfortunately, as soon as I turn it on, my work takes a back seat. I've also been told that I seem to have a radio going on in my head all the time, and in fact, I blurt out noises, sounds, quotes from LH on the P etc. sometimes without even knowing. :-)
