Edmonton teacher, Danny Maas, reminded me of a fantastic tool developed by
AT&T Research.? They have developed a very good text-to-speech synthesizer.
Simply type in the text you want read, choose the voice you wish to hear,
and you will hear it read!? Aside from being a lot of fun, this site has the
potential to help reluctant readers and provide voice narration for
multimedia presentations.? In addition to the English-speaking synthesizers,
this engine will also pronounce French, Spanish, and German words typed into
this free, web-based synthesizer.

I hate germs and if you teach in a computer lab, you know how difficult it

Edmonton teacher, Lucia Besko found this site all all things cool and
technical.? What causes Earthquakes? Why does my heart beat? What is an
electron? Ever wonder about this stuff? Well, Tech Topics is here is bring
it all together for you. We started with a bunch of cool exhibits from
TheTech, found links to other places, and created activities and projects to
help explain things. Now you can explore science right at your desk!
