Websites that provide free music can be very beneficial in education. When using music in school, you need to be aware of copy right restrictions. There are a number of audio resources available on the Internet that we can use in our Podcasts. Some of these websites request that we credit the use of their resources in our Podcasts. Also some of the resources are covered by one of the many Creative Commons licences and you are advised to read them so you know what you are allowed to do with them.

You could use free music or sound affects websites to help children enhance their multi-media projects such as... Podcasting, Powerpoints and Prezi's.

Here are some websites that provide free music

TIP!

In my experience of letting children chose their own music can be very empowering and add real dimensions to their work. HOWEVER set an amount of time they have to explore and find suitable music or sound affects as this part could take up the entire lesson!!
