These specialized instructional spaces still require the teacher to be heard clearly. By blending a high performance audio playback and recording system, along with an audio enhancement system to lift the teacher’s voice, even these challenging spaces are transformed into highly effective learning environments.

Audio Enhancement Classroom System

Audio Enhancement is recognized as one of the key technologies in today’s classroom wherein the teacher talking to the students is the primary teaching modality. Studies have shown that as much as 75% of the school day is spent in activities that involve listening (Flexor, University of Akron, 2002). The Audio Enhancement system enhances the teacher’s voice – evenly distributing it throughout the learning environment. By utilizing this technology, the teacher creates an environment that provides every student equal access to the teacher’s voice, regardless of their physical location or orientation to the teacher. Listening to the teacher’s voice truly is the cornerstone of the education system. By enhancing this critical teaching tool in the classroom, student achievement can be improved.

Pro Audio Sound System

Performing Arts spaces are generally intended to be flexible environments that are adaptable to various classroom settings. The systems used in these settings must deliver the best possible sound and voice clarity in order to enhance the learning environment for all students.

Educators should be able to conveniently utilize these systems to project their voice while teaching. These systems must provide the instructor with the versatility to record and playback performances by both students and professional music samples.

These types of systems are customizable and can include an optional control panel that affords teachers the ability to operate the equipment throughout the space from one central location.

Security – SAFE System

One of the key concerns parents have expressed regarding schools centers around the safety of their children. Unfortunately, one only needs to watch the evening news to understand that these fears are real. The Ultimate IISE system provides a personal alert for the teacher so that help may be summoned in a time of need. The help needed may be due to a medical emergency, a dispute between students that escalates beyond the control of the teacher, or an intruder who threatens the safety of the students and staff. Whatever the situation, the teacher now has a way to summon help without having to access a button on a wall or having to pick up a telephone. By simply pressing the function button on their microphone, a pre-established chain of events can be set in motion that will provide appropriate assistance to teachers during a time of need.

Projector

Projectors are the main visual presentation tool in the classroom today. They provide an excellent value for the classroom. Today’s projectors have excellent picture quality and provide classrooms with a picture large enough for all students to see. A projector works in concert with the teacher’s computer, the visual presenter, and the interactive white board. It is a critical component in any modern classroom.  In today’s classroom, it is essential for teachers to be able to use them via a streamlined, easy to use, interface. The demands placed on teachers to increase student achievement means that they cannot afford to spend instructional time trying to get technology to work smoothly. By providing an easy to use control system that ties all of the audio/visual technologies together, the teacher has the ability to easily switch from one component to another without wasting valuable instruction time.

The Interactive White Board provides the teacher with the flexibility to incorporate engaging multi-media and interactive elements into their lessons to make learning fun. Interactive White Board manufacturers have also provided extensive collaboration opportunities for teachers. By providing online discussion forums, resource catalogs, and lesson sharing, teachers have opportunities to collaborate across the school and around the world.
