I have chosen to ask for the PYLE Pro PDWM8700 wireless microphone system because I am currently using a microphone system for a hearing impaired child. At the beginning of the year, my district set my room up with a speaker and microphone system that would assist a student to hear better during teacher instruction. I was concerned that it would be a distraction to the other students throughout the day. I couldn’t have been more wrong! The ability to project your voice in the classroom has allowed students to hear over noises that obstruct my voice. Between the air/heat vents blowing, student noises, and technology running, the microphone that is attached to me has given students a clearer understanding of instruction and content that is delivered. I am now just finding different research that explains how a teachers' voice is not always heard by all students. Allowing the teacher to project his or her voice around the room, allows all students no matter where they sit the chance to hear. I truly believe this has made a difference in my classroom this year and I would truly appreciate your assistance in allowing me to use a system like this in future years. The system will be taken away from me at the end of the school year as the hearing impaired student will proceed to the next grade level.
