About my class

Many factors can affect a student’s ability to hear. On average, speech must be heard at 15db over ambient noise levels in the classroom. That’s more than 2X what an adult needs! Classroom challenges for children include: ◦Everything from air conditioning units, to classroom acoustics and layout can impact a child’s ability to hear and learn ◦Quiet talkers ◦“Teacher’s voice” – sore throats from having to talk all day ◦Sedentary students – activity (like throwing a ball) grows a better brain! Just like a Talking Stick, the Qball helps manage classroom discussions and increases learning. Add a Presenter Microphone to amplify the teacher’s voice, too, saving the strain that teachers feel from talking all day long. I feel that the Qball, wireless microphone ball, will be an awesome way to raise student participation in the classroom and to make each student's voice be heard. I also feel that it will promote student confidence and willingness to participate because of the excitement of throwing the ball back and forth to each other and to me.
