EduHound Spotlight Site of the Week! In honor of Spring, this week's featured site is:
The Great Backyard Bird Count From the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. Thanks to the masterful artistry of Larry McQueen, the Lab's vast slide collection, and the Lab's Library of Natural Sounds, they bring you an identification guide full of images, sounds, and text that will help you better identify birds.

Ask Judi!This week's question comes from Anita: "I was glancing through a school catalog and saw a traffic light for noise control. It mounted on the wall and plugged in to a socket. You could set a noise level on it so when the noise reached a certain level the yellow light would come on as a warning. If the noise got worse then the red light would come on. Could you possibly find it?" Certainly, Anita! Here are some places to find more information and/or purchase a variety of different offerings. Also, in addition to using them to monitor noise levels, they seem suited to student activities such as debating or oral report presentation to help with time awareness.
Good Luck! Each week, I'll use this area to answer your questions, post announcements, and provide interesting input! So please email me at EduHoundWeekly@eduhound.com and watch for your answer here!
EduHound Site Updates! http://www.eduhound.com/edumatch/main.html If you go to our page at: http://www.eduhound.com/edumatch/main.html ******************************* NEWS FROM EDUMATCH We told you about the new Premium Program for districts from our friends at www.edumatch.com a while ago. It's starting to catch on and several districts have enrolled. That's great news. This is the free (yes, free!) service that will match your state's curriculum standards to over 4,000 curriculum software titles and give district administrators unprecedented control over the acquisition process. Districts that subscribe to the edumatch Premium Program get a revolutionary new tool for complying with state curriculum standards and a system of checks and balances for controlling district spending on software. There's much more, of course. We encourage you to go to www.edumatch.com and click on Premium Program on the home page.
