At this time nearly every school in our county has at least one of these systems. The Sound-field System uses FM radio waves ensuring that each classroom has it's own wavelength and will not pick up CB or ham radio channels. Comments by teachers who have utilized this technology cite the same benefits, especially in the lower elementary classrooms. Imagine the benefits a special education student could reap. Students can hear the teacher in every part of the classroom.
Students are more focused and engaged in lessons and classroom behavior improves.
The sound system helps teachers get the edge over internal and external classroom noise, reverberation, speaker-listener distance and poor classroom acoustics that steal student attention. Shy children are more likely to read aloud using a microphone. Teachers report that they repeat directions less frequently and hold the students attention for longer periods of time. Two of our first grade teachers elected to receive the sound system over a computer because the sound system benefits every student in the classroom. Being able to hear and understand speech is critical to language learning, both spoken and written.
