TECH TIP:  Zero Noise Classroom Meter
Zero Noise Classroom is a Chrome Extension that allows you to set a countdown timer and a noise meter all  in one.  You set the time you want and the noise level you expect.  The noise shows up as the gray bars, with no noise, the background is all white.  This could be very helpful if you want 5 minutes of quiet reading, 10 minutes of quiet work on a math problem before sharing with a group, etc.

BOOK TIP:  The Life We Bury by Allen Eskens
