MoveNoteĭo you have lots of PowerPoints or documents you’ve created over the years, but are now looking for a way to shake things up in your classroom? One way to do this is to “flip” your classroom. Other than converting text to speech, clearly allows users to annotate websites, as well as take away all of those annoying distractions like advertisements and moving pictures.
#CHROME EXTENSION ISPEECH PRO#
If you are an Evernote Pro user, you can use the text to speech feature in their Chrome extension, Clearly. This extension is great for Project Gutenburg and reading articles from sites like Time for Kids and The Learning Network from the New York Times. It even has automatic language detection, or you can choose from other languages like German, Italian, Japanese, and Russian, just to name a few. To convert text to speech, simply highlight the text and click the extension’s icon in your browser bar. Within the settings of the apps, you can control volume, speed, and voice. I’ve tried a couple of them, and the least intrusive and easiest to use (that I’ve found), is Select and Speak by iSpeech. This is why I love the text to speech extensions within Chrome.

This makes it very difficult for our struggling readers to get the full benefit of all of the amazing data and resources available online. Unlike the site like, the majority of sites on the Internet cannot be adjusted by reading level.

All the work is pretty much done for you! I’m telling you, if you’re a teacher and have an iOS or Android device, BUY THIS APP! (not an affiliate) I’ve included some screen shots for your viewing pleasure 🙂 If you choose to count the student’s response as right or wrong, you can periodically see how the students are doing and decide to move them up a level, down a level, or leave them where they are. You can then decide to assess using that question stem, or not.

So when you “pull” a student’s name, it will generate question stems based on the level you assign to them. The real value in the app, however, is in the fact that you can assign Bloom’s, Revised Bloom’s, or ESL question stems. You can choose to put the stick back in the can or leave it as “used”. That’s exactly what this app is, but it takes things a few steps further. However, I did pony up the $2.99 for this app because it is AWESOME! I’m not sure how many middle or high school teachers have the soup can with student names written on popsicle sticks, but I’m pretty sure all elementary teachers have had one at some point.

There are just so many free ones out there that I can usually find one to do what I need to for free. There are not many apps that I will actually pay for. Let’s dive in! Stick Pick ( iOS and Android, $2.99) I have used all three of these, and I’m sure if you try them, they’ll prove to be invaluable to your classroom. This week, I’m going to introduce the iOS and Android app Stick Pick, a couple of text to speech Chrome extensions, and MoveNote.

I’m back to the computer now, and hopefully no more interruptions! Unfortunately, the demon stomach bug from you-know-where attacked my house and then we sold our house and went under contract on another one within three days. You can also save articles in Todoist, add a website as an assignment, and even turn a Gmail letter into a task! To add a site as an assignment, tap Add website as a task, and the extension will save the page URL so you can go back to it later.Hello All! I apologize for not posting the past two Thursdays.

Todoist allows you to collaborate with teams as well as remind you of projects listed on your calendar. If you’re looking for a Chrome extension to help you list and remember to finish your task, then Todoist might be it. The tool works with Google Docs, Gmail, LinkedIn, and almost everywhere else you find yourself writing. It vets your spelling, grammar, and punctuation as you write and has a dictionary function that suggests related words.

Grammarly is a real-time spell and grammar-checker tool for online writing. All you need to do is search inside the box that pops up when you tap on the icon for the extension.ĭownload: Google Scholar Button (Free) Grammarly The tool allows you to find and cite sources of text on the web or in your university library.
