Dipity is a free digital timeline website. Users can create, share, embed and collaborate on interactive, visually engaging timelines that integrate video, audio, images, text, links and social media, to name a few. We found Dipity to be an especially helpful web 2.0 tool, for it allows the user to organize information according to date in an aesthetically pleasing, engaging and interactive way. We used Dipity to begin to create a timeline that showcases musicians with disabilities. By clicking on a musicians' event, you can view a picture, a short biography on their career and disability and listen to a sample of their work. By incorporating this timeline of musicians with disabilities into your lesson, you can introduce students to accomplished musicians who didn't let their impairment become a disability, for it didn't stop them from creating music.

media type="custom" key="21743858"  Incredibox is an application that allows you to create your own music using human beatbox sounds. Its as easy as dragging and dropping a sound icon on a character! You are even able to record your own beatbox composition and share it with friends! This would be a great tool to use because its incredibly simple to use, and would be effective in an inclusive music classroom. When using this application, students have the ability to compose and it carries out the theme of having different parts come together to make one product- which is a good point to teach if you are working with an ensemble.
