Life in a classroom can sometimes get hectic and noisy! This free tool might be the answer to try and control some of the chaos. This is really cool especially if you have a smart board in your class. You plug in a microphone to your computer, go to this website and it actually measures the amount of noise in your class with an easy to read gauge. You can set the sensitivity to the level that you want and it will clearly display if the noise-level is getting too high. Amazing!

Great Teacher Finds is a list of free teacher materials that I have come across on the Internet. As I am a special needs teacher, a lot of it is geared toward learning disabled students but there's something for every kind of teacher- from kindergarten to elementary to high school! Great freebies for teachers and kids!
