Sound Cloud in Education:

  • "Teacher's Guide to Sound Cloud in the Classroom"
    • "Sometimes telling is more expressive than writing or visualizing and SoundCloud is ideal for that. SoundCloud gives a voice to students and enables them to say their minds. SoundCloud improves students engagement with the learning taking place in class through the interactive features it provides such as commenting and liking."
  • Teachers' comments about using Sound Cloud in the Classroom:
    • "It is a great teaching tool that allows teachers to incorporate technology into their repertoire by using audio, Podcasting is a powerful tool that encourages listening and speaking skills. " - Gabriela A. on Common Sense Media
    • "It's an excellent way to record semester reflections, book opinions, original songs, spoken poems, interviews, and more. Although it's easy to use, it allows students an opportunity to practice technology literacy, and the embedding feature allows for a bit of coding when publishing to an ePortfolio or blog. For students accustomed to more engaging ways of recording and sharing audio (i.e. YouTube videos) or those who are not auditory learners may think the service boring or a hassle. " - Joanna B. on Common Sense Media
