An example of one of the how-tos on the website:
https://practicaledtech.com/2020/01/27/nine-good-sources-of-public-domain-creative-commons-audio/

- This one is about nine good options for finding audio files that are either in the public domain or have a Creative Commons license.  Finding classroom friendly audio is great especially now that Googlhas incorporated the ability for users to include audio within slides.  You also need to be aware that using copyrighted music and other audio is illegal.  For example, If you post a video to YouTube with copyrighted audio YouTube will take it down from the site.
