Soundation

Soundation


 * = ==General Description == ||= Soundation is a free online music maker application. This tool gives everyone the chance to make music via the Internet. The site offers a large virtual library of instruments, effects, drumbeats, and audio sounds. Students can also save, post and/or download their product. The site is //(again //) user-friendly. Also there are multiple links for “How to…” on the site. These videos, blogs, and links offer detailed instructions with both simple text and pictures. The site also offers a LEARN section that takes the user through a more extensive steps through the program. This program is a little more advanced than Jam Studio, but in the same ballpark. ||
 * = ==Teacher/Student Use == ||= I would recommend viewing and trying to be familiar with the program prior to giving it to the students. As noted earlier, it is a little more complex than some other programs. (//For the record, my 5th graders figured it out and were able to manipulate it well //) Again, like other music creation sites, it allows the student the freedom to be creative with music on one central site. I envision the uses for project creation and furthering interests in songwriting. ||
 * = ==Things to Know Before You Go == ||= Soundation is also a free site. But, it only gives you limited access to the site unless you register. If you want to save your work into your own profile account, you will need to register and be logged in when you save. You can delete, rename and open any of your saved productions or in-progress works with a profile. I believe that if you register, the site is still free. ||
 * = ==Technology Standards == ||= 8.1.4.B.1
