Heartland has purchased a license to the Soundzabound library of MP3 music clips. Using Soundzabound provides "protection" for a district against music copyright violations. It works with Macs or PCs. Teachers and students are encouraged to use it when creating a podcast, PowerPoint, video, movie, web page, digital storytelling, etc. You can also loop the 15 second, 30 second and 60+ second clips together for background music in the classroom or for half-time entertainment, public events, cable broadcasts, video yearbooks, student productions, performances, lunchroom, after school programs, teaching, tests, etc.
This is not your typical sound effects or "Muzac" music. You'll find classical, hard rock, soft rock, indie, percussion, swing, reggae, punk, country, blues, soul, sports, techno, psychedelic, new age, hip-hop, urban, game show, animation music, sound effects, decades of music tracks and lots more. More multicultural music will be added this year.
Log-in with the username/password used for the other online databases at http://www.soundzabound.com or by using the Com Cat catalog at http://comcat-agent.auto-graphics.com. An e-mail was sent to teacher librarians with ideas on how Soundzabound can be used in the classroom and the legal and ethical uses of copyrighted music.
