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. Today’s episode is about a simple Soundtrap project that could be done as a collaboration by several students or by an individual in whatever time frame you provide.

Reflection is important because it helps us see where we’ve been, where we are, and where we want to go. I’ve finished teaching for this school year and this coming week at work we are finishing the school year out with teacher inservice meetings. What’s next is several weeks of summer to take time to rest like we might not have ever done before. Never before have I had a summer that is so wide open with literally not a single item on the calendar - except one possible short trip with my parents, but even that could change depending on what the CDC and the states decide. Even over this past weekend I struggled int...
