Heard of SoundCloud? I hadn't until just recently when I was using other web tools that claimed they could embed "SoundsCloud Tracks."
After some investigating, I found that SoundCloud is an awesome resource that allows users to upload and/or record audio that they can share on various social media sites including blogs, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, Jam, or email for friends, fans, or followers. Musicians can use Soundcloud to share their music. Authors can record audio books. Podcasters can record directly in SoundCloud. The possibilities are really endless.
After creating a free account with Google, you can search for thousands of audio tracks from other SoundCloud users or record and upload up to 120 minutes of your own audio material. If the 120 minutes isn't enough, go ahead and move to an account upgrade. There are some great pricing options for everyone!
As an educator, I would most likely use SoundCloud for me and my students to record short audio tracks right from our computer. Students could embed these tracks into tools such as ThingLink, SMORE, & Blogger. Since SoundCloud simply produces a link, you can share this link virtually anywhere!
Once your account is created, click "Upload." From here, you are a few short clicks away from uploading a previously recorded track or making your own track right on SoundCloud that can be shared privately via a link or publicly in the SoundCloud search.
Happy Listening!
