Explore Creative Sound Making with Soundtrap
In this demonstration, Alan Cameron (Education Specialist with Soundtrap), will show how students of all ages and abilities can easily make music, soundscapes and podcasts. Soundtrap is an easy-to-use, cloud-based, collaborative, audio recording studio which can be used safely online by young people in and out of school settings. Alan will show a variety of music and podcast examples of how Soundtrap can be used for creative and collaborative projects. We will look and listen to some of the 4,000+ high quality beats and presets and explore how these can be used effectively in learning from KS2 to KS4 and beyond. We will see Soundtrap’s capability in seamlessly working across wifi connected devices and look at how assignments and projects can be set and managed. Alan will give attendees a tour of the studio and will share some tips and tricks for working in Soundtrap easily and effectively.
