Soundcloud is an website that has millions of different tracks of music, recordings, documentaries on tape etc. It connects millions of people all across the globe, where people can listen and create their own tracks and playlists. You can view my profile at https://soundcloud.com/stream or just look up clafdaddy39. I created a playlist of Civil War songs and recordings in a playlist. here is the link to access it. https://soundcloud.com/you/sets

As a teacher, I would use this app in a similar fashion with that of youtube, but instead of showing videos, i would be playing audible tracks or recordings. Students could use soundcloud to turn in projects, create and upload their own music,and listen to their peers projects/tracks to network. As a teacher i could use soundcloud for resource in various ways. I could use to have students turn in projects, play tracks or playlists in class, create my own playlists, I could use to administer homework to my students as search engine, even though that is the most reliable source, My students are already going to have a sense of social networking just from their everyday lives, soundcloud just becomes another tool they can network with and also use it for educational purposes. Anyone can create and use soundcloud to publicly share their music or recording, so yes, students can create tracks just as easily as teachers.  Soundcloud is very accessible for anyone, but their are challenges. One must have a sense of how to create music or audible on their computer to be able to upload to soundcloud.

Videos bring a new feeling to the classroom and changes the ordinary flow of teaching.Finding videos and movies to show in class can be tedious, but not anymore. Using Youtube, can be the easiest way and most effective way to show videos in the classroo m. There are millions of videos uploaded onto Youtube.com and you can find videos ranging from The Causes of the American Civil War to music and dress of the 17th century France.

I love youtube. I have been using Youtube since it first came out and I will continue to use when I have my own classroom in the future.I could use Youtube in various ways. I could use it for accessing videos and movies, students could upload presentations and projects to youtube for easy access and also so they could all watch each others videos, share their videos with their families and friends, and using youtube is much less time consuming then going to a library and renting a documentary, you could do it from the convenience of your home or phone. I would use this tool in my classroom because of the accessibility, efficiency, and because how easy youtube is to use. My younger cousins know how to access it. Students can use youtube in a couple different ways. They could create their own videos, as well as teachers can, and upload them to youtube, they could also use youtube to watch other students videos or watch specific videos that I have chosen to show. example: I could give all the students the link to a video that i want them to watch for tomorrows lesson as homework that way I wouldnt have to waste time in the classroom showing them a video that they could access on their own.
