A link to their performance can then be posted on a student or teacher website. There are only a few sites that meet that criteria. SMS Tunes is another similar site. Sing Snap is the newest addition to this list.

As a former journalist and being the son of an English professor and librarian, I’m sensitive to proper grammar. I’ve learned to bite my tongue whenever someone says “Between he and I” or “irregardless,” although I have been known to correct signs in grocery stores and restaurants. It’s an affliction, I’ll admit. Recently, a friend of mine reminded me of how I used to make fun of Paula Abdul’s “Opposites Attract,” in which every verse begins with the words “It ain’t.”
