Audio on the Internet

When searching for audio for use in education - free and copyright free are the two words to keep in mind!
Here are some sources of free and copyright free music for projects:
www.freeplaymusic.com - lots of genres and lots of songs
Digital History - music for social studies and history projects
Unitedstreaming has audio files/songs that can be used in multimedia projects.
Find many sound effects at schools.clipart.com
Audio recordings from American Memory (primary source documents)
Use GarageBand to create your own music!

Copyright "rules":
1. up to 10%, but no more than 30 seconds
2. can make alterations if it supports and instructional objective (note that a change was made)
3. don't change the basic melody or the fundamental character of the work
