Student Talk Time In The Esl Classroom

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.

The best of the DL-103 cartridges. I'v many since 1975. Always wind up back in the same place. Just like the Quad ESL-57 no match was ever found.

Fits perfectly in the classroom.

I got mine three weeks ago; it changed my life at work. I can talk and listen to music at the same time.

I use permanent parkers all the time on craft projects, and things in my classroom. This pack has a wide variety of colors and covers all of my needs.

Bought this cable to get HDMI across a classroom through the ceiling. Worked the first time I plugged it in. Really like these heavy-duty Kramer HDMI cables, especially with the lock system.

I have this tripod that I use for my personal use. When I needed one for the classroom I had a hard time justifying the expense. However, my students (K8) have a very hard time being still when video taping. I purchased a cheepo@originally. It was definitely cheap and only held up (as in didn't fall apart) for a month of occasional use. It never worked adequately. I bit the bullet and purchased this one and it works great! Well worth the $ and sorry I didn't go with it from the get go!

We use these mics for our HS classroom - they are perfect for this use with students. The wind screen is so good though at time it blocks out the sound a little too much. We love them for class and at this price point the can't be beat.
