Help me give my students the tools needed to complete their state testing for Physical Education.

My Project

As a physical education teacher, I have the task of testing our entire school for the state physical fitness testing. In order to do this, I need to play the audio prompts for the students. Unfortunately, my 15 year old speaker has finally given up.

I need the new media equipment in order to complete the testing.

In addition, I would like to be able to connect an iPad to play the prompts instead of an old boombox so that students can hear the updated prompts. This will also allow us to use the speaker for other games and events in the gym throughout the year.
