Embedded Files
Be sure to investigate all the sound effects, ambiance, textures, jingles etc.. in GarageBand and iMovie before you spend time trolling for sounds online. Most sounds are NOT FREE, even though they say they are.
Here are a few of my favorites sources for sounds.
Only choose school appropriate sounds, or you will not be allowed to look online.
All sounds need to be DOWNLOADED to your computers, then you can drag them into GarageBand or iMovie.
To download you can CNTRL-CLICK on the link/url for the sound and choose DOWLOAD LINKED FILE AS - the direct it to a folder on your computer
Some sound have a DOWNLOAD button, which will then put the sound in your DOWNLOAD folder, so open FINDER and look there..
