Noise Control Tools


Feeling like the classroom volume has increased with the holidays approaching?  Try using Classroom Screen!  There are tools built right in such as a Sound Level Reminder or Work Symbols.  Work symbols are a silent reminder for students to know the current expectation based on the activity.














The Sound Level tool allows you to choose a level of sound.  If the classroom noise level exceeds your desired level the bar will turn red from green and ding - providing a visual and auditory reminder to the students.



These tools are accessible on the bottom bar of Classroom Screen.


​There are many tools available to help.  You may also want to bookmark bouncyball.com.  You can set the level of sensitivity and change the icons.  More tools for your toolbox!



Try these tools out from time to time to see how your students respond.

Seesaw Save as a Draft Tool



Seesaw is an awesome tool to record and curate student work.  Students can take a quick in the moment picture or video of their work.  Or you can push out assignments or assessments!  Now students can save their work 'AS A DRAFT' - allowing students to return to their work at a later time without having to make another copy.
