Noise Level App Meter


We know a lot of schools are already using iPads so here is a great free app we came across, you simply hook up an ipod or ipad to your interactive board and it measures the noise levels in the classroom. A great and colourful way of alerting learners to acceptable levels of noise and help teachers to keep control of noisy classes.

Knowsley CLCs guide to iPad/iPod Apps

One of the most enjoyable yet time consuming tasks when you start using the iPad or iPod is exploring the App store. The App store is divided into categories but some of the best Apps for education aren’t in the Education category and take a little imagination to see how they can be used to support your topic or subject. Looking for those little gems can take hours, so Knowsley CLCs have created a starters guide to get you up and running.

Focus Month: April 2012 – Films

 This month marks International Children’s Book Day (2nd April) which is celebrated on Hans Christian Anderson’s birthday. The day aims to inspire a love of reading and to call attention to children’s books. We are therefore giving learners the chance to bring their books to life using the power of films. Films provide a wealth of possibilities for teaching English topics and our activities are a great way to introduce ICT into your English lessons. Our main activity offers learners the opportunity to make their own movie based on a favourite book.

For further information please view our flyer.

If you are interested in Knowsley CLC staff working with your children to deliver this activity please contact Knowsley CLCs on 0151 443 2155 or email knowsley.clc@knowsley.gov.uk.
