Other
Reflection:
I feel that using soundscapes in my classes would be a great tool to introduce topics as well as
present ideas. In the math and science areas I feel it would be a bit difficult to integrate, but it could also
be a great new way to keep students engaged. This assignment definitely increased my knowledge in the
TPACK. I learned how to use a whole new technology to create soundscapes in garage band. I also had to
be quite creative in thinking of lots of ways to integrate them into my classroom for this assignment. I will
for sure use these in my classes in the future.
