Noisli

I came across Noisli and I thought it could be a really helpful tool for students and teachers. Noisli is a web application that allows you to play various white-noise or background sounds to help your productivity, focus, and stress level. Our school, as many others, has a silent reading time that all students participate in. I have been around the school visiting classrooms during this time and it is DEAD silent! Some students may have a harder time focusing without any sound at all because the silence allows their mind to wonder. Noisli could be a great way to break the silence. Teachers can also use Noisli for the whole class while working on an activity or have students use headphones to select their own sounds. Noisli is a free tool that requires no log in. However, if you do log in using your Google account, Facebook, or email you will have a few more options such as saving your favorite sound mix to a favorites tab and more. To learn more about Noisli check out the video below and visit their site. There is also a Google Extension available in the Chrome Web Store and an iOS app!
