In the classroom there are many projects and subject being addressed at the same time due to classroom size constraints and the variety of subjects. At times, subjects being taught are being brought digitally to the students through a television with built in speakers. The television sound has to be loud enough to be heard by those students participating in the digital instruction but not loud enough to disturb the other students in the classroom not participating. This is a seemingly paradoxical situation that is common in the digital age with older classrooms built for in-person and not for hybrid instruction. The creative solution is to use the 1/8" auxiliary sound out put from the television to a 1/4" input to the headphone amplifier. The space between the wall and output from the TV is small so the smaller 1/8" cable is more flexible and can make the turn without stressing the wiring on the inside. The connectors will bring the sound to the headphone amplifier. The sound then can be individualized for each of the participating students while at the same time allowing nonparticipating students a reduction in the potential volume distractions. This solution should improve the academic access and improve academic functioning immensely while reducing distractions! This is an awesome solution to a persistent situation in classrooms where academic progress and learning how to learn is so important for the future of these young minds!
