Reflection: As I filled in this matrix, I reflected on my creation of a soundscape project. Overall, I was pretty happy
with this idea. I think it will be a good way to introduce new topics into the classroom, especially with social studies.
Although it took a little bit of time, with the right programming I feel that soundscapes could be a very effective
learning tool. I cant wait to use them in my classroom!
Below I linked the charts I used to help me fill in the Constructivism and Flipped Classroom sections of my Matrix.
