I love listening to radio stations from places I have visited. And I have a long list of fav
orite stations. Since I listen to the radio a lot I end up using my iPod, iPhone, iPad or my computer depending on where I am. It used to be time consuming finding the stations I want to listen to, but now I have found a place where I can easily store a list of my favorite stations and listen to them wherever I am! On my Ipod, IPhone or iPad it is TuneIn Radio. Download it on your iPhone and register an account. Start saving your favorite stations to a preset playlist. Log on to the same account whenever you want to listen. On your computer log on to radiotime and the list is there.
Application for class:
- It is easy to browse stations by location and enre. Great for use in language class. Find an online radio channel from any country and listen to news and music!
- After listening have the class make their own radio show with news, banter, songs and commercials. See here for useful applications for broadcasting
