How to use it

  1. Tap a number from 0 to 4 (or press the key) to set the voice level for what the class is doing now.
  2. Type what is happening, such as “partner reading”, and it shows under the level.
  3. Press Full screen to fill the board. Change the level between activities and read it aloud together.

Ideas for class

  • Set it before each transition and ask the class to show you the level with their fingers.
  • Teach the five levels by acting each one out, then ask for a thumbs-up when they match.
  • Use level 0 for tests and silent reading, 2 for partner work, 3 for presenting.
  • Pair it with the noise meter on the Board: the chart says what is expected, the meter shows what the room is doing.
  • Let a student be the voice level helper who changes the number.

Questions

Does this listen to my class?

No. You set the level by hand. If you want a meter that listens, the Quiet Garden on the Peabody Board does that, and the sound never leaves your computer.

Why 0 to 4?

It is the most common version: 0 silent, 1 whisper, 2 partner voice, 3 presenting voice and 4 outside voice. Many schools use 0 to 5 or different names, so use the words that match yours.

Is the level saved?

Only in this browser, so it is still there when you come back. Nothing is sent to us.
