Educational Technology and Mobile Learning: Here Is A Wonderful Music and Podcast Creation Tool for Teachers and Students

Educational Technology and Mobile Learning: Here Is A Wonderful Music and Podcast Creation Tool for Teachers and Students | iGeneration - 21st Century Education (Pedagogy & Digital Innovation) | Scoop.it
Liam Richards's curator insight, June 1, 2017 4:02 AM
Wow! This could be great - a web based tool that requires no install. This could resolve an on-going issue that I witness consistently; no storage on the school computer, or 'I forgot my USB'
S.R.L's curator insight, June 4, 2017 4:17 AM

This is a really useful article on transforming music education through the use of podcast creation on student phones. The application allows for a range of new ways of engaging with the elements of music. Very useful!

Angela MacKenzie's curator insight, May 29, 2020 2:38 AM
What a fantastic tool to ease students and teachers alike into the concept of compositional techniques based on loops. The instructional videos are concise and easy to follow and the program is very user friendly. This in turn creates confidence for all users to push a little further and add more complexities to their creation. 
What's even more exciting is the ability to add your own instrument/sound/ideas with a recording function. I loved the idea of students being able to quickly produce a track in the theme of their choice, adding their own unique loop and then being able to collaborate by adding a loop to their peers compositions.
And just when you thought it couldn't get any better they can then turn this into part of a podcast. What an exciting concept for students of all levels and backgrounds to be able to achieve. Contemporary, user-friendly, accessible and creative - what more could you ask for?!

Forget GarageBand, SoundTrap is a music app for everyone

While Apple's music creation app is limited to iOS and OS X, SoundTrap works on any device with a browser that plays nice with HTML5. And it's very fun…

Sarah Margaret's comment, June 1, 2017 9:36 PM
Multi-authoring a group composition would be so great for students using this program. It is a shame that is only usable through Apple. I just wrote a Unit of work editing sounds using GarageBand in groups but SoundTrap would make the activity so much easier if it was available in my school. The sharing and networking possibilities are so much greater than GarageBand.

At first glance, I thought this was going to be a very opinionate or sponsored article. Reading into it I saw it made some good points, but clicking the resources made me think otherwise. At least one of the resources took me to a page that said it was the wrong address. This could just be an incident that happened after his post, but it still made me suspicious.

This here is a separate guide to help you understand how to use the program Garageband on an iPad. Because operate in this program on an iPad is a bit different than the laptop. It still has some of the best sound quality is that a music production program can offer.
Emma Di Marco's curator insight, May 19, 2021 4:28 AM
GarageBand is an amazing program and one that has the potential to transform music classrooms. Far more than just a tool to record music, GarageBand provides a simple to use and effective platform for students to record, compose, improvise, and explore digital music-making. 

Within the classroom, once students have mastered the basic interface and key features, they are able to compose extensively and without knowledge of music notation. They are able to perform directly into the software via the 'digital' instruments (keyboard, guitar, drum set, for example) or they are able to connect microphones and develop their production skills to record live instruments/vocals. 

The inbuilt AI (such as the preprogrammed "drummers") alongside the ability to import video and develop soundtracks/scores is why I have selected this to be the key artefact in a learning sequence focussed on Video Game music for Year 9's.
