How to Use a Soundboard in the Classroom

Add Your Classroom Sounds
Upload lesson bells, attention chimes, transition music, and pronunciation clips. Import audio links from MyInstants or record voice lines straight from your browser.
Trim and Label Every Button
Cut the silence at the start of each clip with the built-in trimmer. Give every button a color and a label so the right sound is always one click away.
Play It During Class
Open Audpad on your main screen or interactive whiteboard, click a button, and the sound plays through your audio output while you teach.
