Sound Booth

After reading How to Make Your Own Sound Booth for Better Voice Overs, I created my own version at home. 


I didn't have foam, so I looked up alternatives that I might have already at my house. I decided to use a box and wrap a blanket on the inside to absorb the sound. I put a jar inside to show where the microphone would fit. 

If I were to set up a sound booth in the library, I would invest in proper foam and would make sure that the structure was sturdy enough to hold up over time. I would choose to buy the Apogee Mic 96K since I would need a microphone that can connect easily to iPads. This microphone connects well to iPads and can link directly to Garageband. Since I work at a elementary school, I would need a microphone that can also be durable in the hands of little ones and this seems to be a good selection.

I like this photo because it takes up minimal space and would be a concept I would use in my current school's library due to lack of available space. By having a makerspace wall, students could have the tools to engage with design thinking in the library. I received some feedback that a wall may make it hard for some students to reach the materials they need. I have updated my design with a rolling cart instead. You can view the updated linoit board at the end of this post. Second, I included a photo of moveable walls. I indicated where the walls may fit in my layout and walls would make the library space more flexible to accommodate two separate classes in the space at the same time. By freeing up some space, classroom teachers would have the option to bring their classes in to use the ma...

  Here is my second iteration of my library learning commons model. In response to the feedback I received, I fixed up the grammar mistake in my "Creation" box, changed the background colour to a bolder choice and added in an updated logo.
