Students Can't Hear Me Over our Noisy Air Vent Monster!

Help me give my students two wireless microphones and a classroom speaker so they can hear me and my co-teacher loud and clear above the noisy heating and cooling vents in our room.

My Students

Never doubt students, especially my students! I teach three sections of seventh grade inclusion math. Although many of my students face various challenges on a daily basis, they do not allow these challenges to define them. Instead, I am continually impressed and inspired by their drive and work ethic. When you meet my students, you would have a difficult time trying to guess which ones have special needs and which ones don't. I believe in each and every one of them and will do anything in my power to help them succeed.

My Project

All students deserve a quiet and comfortable location for learning, whether they are in a physical classroom or learning remotely from home. Fortunately, the heating and cooling vents in my classroom work very well and provide a comfortable environment. Unfortunately, our physical comfort comes at the expense of a quiet environment since the vents blow so hard, they sound like a 747 jet taking off! This obviously makes communication in our classroom quite challenging at times.

Students are noticeably more engaged in lessons when they can clearly hear each and every word from their teachers.

With the Lightspeed wireless microphone and speaker system, my co-teacher and I will be able to ensure that all students hear and understand us regardless of where we are located in the classroom, and regardless of whether they are in class or joining us remotely during our hybrid classes. We will still be able to circulate throughout the room to help engage students in-person, without worrying about losing our remote students. Once we have control of this pandemic and hopefully, return to full-time in-person teaching, this system will continue to benefit students for years to come. Even if our vents quiet down in the future, all students, especially ones with any hearing loss, will benefit greatly from your generosity. Thank you!
