Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this week,
thanks to my PLN. As a teacher, I feel we have to keep up to date concerning
research in our field and current issues in the education system. I hope some
of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking questions. Thank you
for coming by and visiting!

Zero Noise
Classroom – a Chrome extension; “The free noise level
display and stopwatch for the cooperative classroom. It helps students be aware
of the noise level in the classroom during cooperative learning activities, and
moderate it accordingly. When time is over, the percentage of time that the
noise level has exceeded the optimal level is displayed, so the teacher can use
that value in gamification techniques.” .
