Google launched it's Google Play 'All Access' music service.The company's response to Spotify and other streaming services.
This information came from "itproportal" A reliable article written specifically for the Google All Access. I think this helps those who are trying to put out free music. All AcCess offers its users up to 20,000 songs to upload. Also the app is on the internet instead of the actual device allowing the music to be anywhere.
Lisa Blu's curator insight, April 26, 2020 8:35 PM
I found this article on itproportal, a reliable source talking about google launching their all access streaming service. Streaming music is the new business of music. This has been the trend for two decades now. 
Christina Murdock's curator insight, June 21, 2020 10:07 PM
I think Google Play Music is not very good. I think the update to the Google music streaming service would be good for someone who has an android but it's not very interactive for other device users. I think it's a credible source because it had links to where the information was from. I think it's a credible source for audio industry professionals.

Play in Learning: Why Teaching and Learning Should Be Fun

This article touches on the idea of play in Learning and why play is so fundamental an aspect of any learning process.
Phillip Morgan's curator insight, September 24, 2015 2:16 AM

I believe teaching is an very interesting and noble professional as it allows to meet with the daily challenges and the more you overcome them the more you evolve as a better teacher. Learning can also be fun and enjoying if it is channelised in proper way. Videos , pictorials related to the topic increases the students' engagement with the lessons and also increase the learning procedures.
