The YouTube Audio Library is a collection of music tracks that are freely available for users to download and feature as background music in their projects. Go to the Youtube Audio Library. Use the menu at the top of the page to browse tracks by genre, duration, and more. When you’ve found a track you like, download it by clicking the arrow. Drag from downloads to iTunes in order to make it a part of your iTunes Library. You now can insert this audio into a KeyNote presentation, GarageBand file, iMovie, podcast, or YouTube video. What I like about this resource is that you can search the library of music according to genre, mood, instrument, or duration, and that you can listen to the tracks before downloading them. Fun Fact: I used this resource to download the audio you hear on the home page of this advent calendar.
Click on a number each day of December to reveal a Web 2.0 tool. You could peek early, but what is the fun in that?​
Usually, all resources come from my blog Teachers Technology Toolbox or from my own site. This year I've hidden a few gems that I haven't shared with anybody yet. I hope you find some great tools to use in your classroom this December. Click the 2013 to get back to the main page.
