I was looking through the resources and also stumbled upon this one, since I enjoy music, I decided to include it. Well, that and the fact that one of the last inquiry units I worked on with some elementary students last year focused on the Depression and one group looked at its culture in California with migrant workers, etc. This would have been a great resource for them! The resource comes from the LOC and allows students to explore the culture and ethnicities of folk music during the 30s. There are audio clips to explore, sketches for instrument design and a lot of other cool things here.  I could see students easily using this resource for a history unit or a music class to better understand what life was like during the 30s. In a history class, students might investigate the outlook on life through the lyrics in some of the songs. In a music class, students might trace the development of the music and its instruments. With other resources, students could look at the way the music here has had an influence on what we listen to today. Just some thoughts.

For the musically inclined, use Incredibox for students to create beat tracks that they can utilize to make songs and dances to associate with learning targets and concepts. For music teachers, they can ask kids to create beats that demonstrate their learning of musical concepts.

With Soundtrap you make music or podcasts online. You can plug in your own instrument, use the software instruments and loops available in Soundtrap or just record a song directly with your computer microphone. It's super-easy!

Our music teacher is attempting to correlate her curriculum with what is taking place in the classroom. This lesson may be a great way to do this. I also see the library piggy-backing with this...perhaps through the use of PebbleGo!

Download free music under Creative Commons and other licenses. With the demise of Wisconsin Media Lab, we may need to start looking for other sources beyond Soundzabound.

This is a very interesting video on copyright. The voices and background music are very catchy. I would have students watch this video and then as a class create a googledoc of a simplified version of what they learned. A "For Dummies" version and the we could post this to our Moodle or learning platform to remind us how copyright works and what we can and cannot do.
