SoundCloud - A Really Cool Little Program
SoundCloud was familiar to me before this class only because
I work in an educational environment, but I had never done much with it or
thought that much about it. I made an initial post earlier in the week to test
it out that had a link to a few audio files that I liked. Then I started thinking about what else
SoundCloud could be used for, besides sharing music that I like with friends or
coworkers on Twitter.
One use that I thought of was for teachers that are out on
leave, whether it’s for one day or an extended period of time. SoundCloud gives
them the ability to record lessons or podcasts for the person taking their
place. I know that there are other applications that allow you to do this but
one interesting thing I learned about SoundCloud after reading about it is that
it lets students comment at a specific location below the audio file that
the instructor creates. http://edtechteacher.org/index.php/teaching-technology/presentation-multimedia/podcasting
SoundCloud could also be used to assist people that are not
comfortable with public speaking – it gives people the ability to record their
own voice and play it back for themselves or others to critique the quality and
provide feedback, so that they can improve on their speaking skills. While searching for more information about
SoundCloud, I came across this direct link titled Help 101s, which has all the
different uses for SoundCloud divided up into several areas – very helpful if
you’re looking for different ways it can be used.
