S6: E127 Mini Soundtrap Project

Season 6 Episode 127 Mini Soundtrap Project In the last few episodes I’ve shared some Soundtrap lesson ideas that I created and used with students. Podcasts, Fictional Character Themes, Found Sounds, and Poem with Loops. Check out the resources provided for each of these lessons in the show notes or on the blog.

This might be a great way to introduce students to loops and even form structure depending on how you set up your rubric. This was a lesson I used while I was out th...
