Noisli

If you are like me complete quiet is something you think you want but sometimes you need that soft background noise of rain gently falling or soft waves crashing against the beach. Noisli is a great companion for those of us who need a little noise to help us focus, block out surrounding sounds, or just to calm and relax us. Background sounds have great masking abilities in reducing the negative impact of sudden spikes in external noise and enabling you to focus for longer periods of time. Click here and start experiencing the sounds of productivity.

Quizizz

Tired of using the same online way to quiz or have students compete? Quizizz is a great way for students to learn at home or in the classroom by having them compete online with customized quizzes. You can learn as a group or assign as individual practice. Create your own or pick from teacher-created quizzes covering several subjects!

It also integrates with Google Classroom and has Read aloud and other accessibility features so everyone can participate. Click here to give Quizizz a try.
