Bouncy Balls
OVERVIEW
Bouncy Balls is a handy online tool designed to manage classroom noise levels. It’s particularly useful for educators dealing with lively students who sometimes get a bit too noisy. Here’s how it works:
- Noise Visualization: Bouncy Balls provides a visual representation of the noise level in the classroom. As the sound level increases, colorful plastic balls, emojis, bubbles, or eyeballs bounce up from the bottom of the screen and move chaotically. When the noise decreases, they settle down.
- Microphone Interaction: The tool reacts to sounds picked up by the microphone. As students speak or make noise, the balls respond accordingly. Adjust the sensitivity, interface, and the number of balls as needed.
- Alerts: When the noise exceeds a certain threshold, Bouncy Balls emits a “beep” sound or displays a “shush” emoji.
- Engaging Interface: Students find the cute and playful interface appealing, which encourages them to self-regulate their volume levels.
