This session will introduce teachers to Soundtrap and provide them with resources that will support in elevating and amplifying the social and emotional skills students need to be creative and collaborative with music and audio creation. During this session, be prepared to engage in collaborative dialogue that will inspire you to incorporate podcasting and music making in your classrooms using components of SEL intertwined with cultural relevance. This session will also emphasize why culture and identity are integral in allowing students to feel safe and encouraged when entering a creative process.
