Louder Sound= Engaging Lessons

Help me give my students a new sound system to make our videos loud enough for everyone to hear in the room.

My Project

Technology, Promethean boards, sound systems, oh my! This year, my district is rolling out new Promethean boards to each classroom, which should allow teachers and students to collaborate in the classroom.

After using my new Promethean board for a week, I found that I am missing something, which is a more powerful sound system.

While the speakers on the Promethean board are decent, over time, they will diminish and blow out, and I'd like to prevent that by having a sound system to use for videos, clips, and movies for my students.
