Classroom Student Timer

I use the product daily in my high school classroom. It works great. I like the timer feature on this model. It's good for timing discussion times between students, etc. For some reason, the students think the green laser is especially cool.

I am using this in a classroom setting for 8th grade students. We went outside to have each student record part of a message. Two of our noisiest locations, the gym and breezeway were great! In the gym, there was a class going on and my student was standing on top of the bleachers (about 40 feet away) doing his part. Of course it was noisy (gym, duh), but he could be heard clearly. In the breezeway, it is really loud due to the AC chillers being close. The sound was great and the student speaking was clear! I am looking forward to our next location shoot!

This USB microphone lives up to the manufacturer's (MXL) hype. In fact, it's ability to cleanly and strongly pick up speech from more than 10 feet away in a classroom, at a level suitable for a live, remote captioner to hear, exceeded my best expectations. We initially tested it using various web-conferencing tools (Skype, Adobe Connect) and were immediately impressed with the warm sound and responsiveness. The input sensitivity is appropriately high so that it can be used in conferencing situations. We deployed this mic in the front of a 25-seat classroom with the hope that it would pick up student questions and comments at a level audible enough for a remote-captioner to hear and convey back to the hearing-impaired instructor. Much to everyone's relief and satisfaction, a soft-spoken student in the back of the room was clear and audible.

Fits perfectly in the classroom.

We have been using these in a k-5 classroom setting. Never had a problem.

Professional and student use.

Timer is excellent. Does exactly what I need and more.

Excellent, just what the student needed!
