Audio to Use in Presentations

For places to find digital audio to use in presentations, these are some we often recommend from the HIAT website: http://montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/hiat/websites/graphics.shtm

Some others from MS Media Specialists Diane Omans and Andrea Christman include:

Creative Commons Search - Creative Commons is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to making it easier for people to share and build upon the work of others, consistent with the rules of copyright. Their portal provides access to search services to find media licensed under the creative commons license.

Discovery Education Streaming - MCPS has a subscription to this huge databank of graphics, video, and sound. All the media is aligned to content standards. MCPS staff can ask the media specialist for the login/password. You can attend an MCPS training (put "streaming" in the course title field of the PDO) or view the professional development resources within DE Streaming. Student can be provided their own accounts for home and school use as well.

Jamendo is a great place to find free music to use in your presentations. all music is free and legally usable. To find music that suits your needs, search descriptors of the tracks. From the "Music" menu, choose "Tags."

Wikimedia Commons - This site is a repository of graphics, sound and video uploaded by the users. The vast majority of files are either in the public domain or under a liberal copyright license which allows you to use them as long as you give credit back to the authors.

What sites have others found useful for this purpose? Any better than others for students to interact with directly (e.g. only safer, controlled content)?
