Practice Makes Perfect

Help me give my students wireless microphones to practice and rehearse presentations so they can effectively learn public speaking skills.

My Project

I have the great opportunity to teach AP Seminar. Students in this course develop solutions to real-world problems and present their solutions to an audience as a team and individually. I need a 4 pack of wireless microphones so students can practice their presentations. The school did provide us with a camera but the sound quality is terrible. I asked for microphones so students could hear themselves when they watched their presentations and I was denied.

My goal is for my students to be able to see and hear their presentations so they can become effective public speakers.

Many students today do not know how to effectively communicate with other people and my goal with these microphones is for students to learn how to speak to an audience, academically and professionally.

My students are amazing and are always working hard to improve themselves in every way, not just academically. My students support and encourage each other. Having these microphones will help my students continue to improve themselves.
