Getting Sound
We have an external mic for our GoPro... use it.
Of course, you don't have to get close to your subject when using an external microphone. If you have an older iPhone or iPod touch, or you can borrow a friend's, you can use it as a portable microphone with little problem.
To record, just open the Voice Memos app on the second iPhone and dictate what clip you're shooting ("Christmas party, kids playing with new toys"). Then set your video camera to record, and clap your hands in front of the frame — it's an old trick, but a good one.
Audition
Audition
Audition is part of the same Adobe Suite as Premiere and After Effects. That said, if you're already using Adobe for video, it makes the most sense to edit your sound there. If you're using iMovie, on the other hand, chack out GarageBand below.

Audacity
Audacity
Audacity is an easy-to-use, multi-track audio editor and recorder for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and other operating systems.
Developed by a group of volunteers as open source.
You may end up needing to move your tracks back to Audition to create something you can use, because our district no longer installs export to mp3 support in Audacity.

What does this mean? This means that the artist(s) that created the music are licensing it to the public for free. You do not have to pay them any compensation for using the music in your videos.
However, each artist and/or website may have different stipulations about how their music can be used and/or credited. Most of the time they just want credit for the music at the end of the video but some may want you to email them for permission. Pay attention to the artist’s demands and respect their work. They are being very kind to let us use their music for free and they deserve the credit.
You may find other things not on this list, so please share them. Also, consider making your own music in Garageband or other looping/music creation software - or collaborate with musicians in your school. There are a lot of creative possibilities!
All of this is constantly changing. Seriously, the best thing anyone can do is subscribe to a service that allows you to download royalty free tracks, but this is public education and we don't pay for stuff like that so, here you go:
https://soundcloud.com/creativecommonsmusicfree - There’s a ton on soundcloud, but pay attention - it’s easy to get lost in a search and not be within Creative Commons music.
http://www.freesound.org/browse/tags/music/ This is an older one - good for some dramatic moments, but also for some sound effects if you need it.
