I've already experienced people having difficulty understanding what I'm saying while I'm wearing a face mask just a few feet from them, so imagine teaching in a large classroom! Having an audio system with mic will help my students hear me, near and far, in my classroom as well as online. I'll be using the microphone, receiver, and speakers to enable students to hear me clearly anywhere in the classroom. I'll also be able to record clearer audio while I video my lessons for students that are distance learning so they will not be left behind! From what I'm imagining, I'll have speakers at the back of the classroom as well as at the front and sides so that students can hear me when I'm giving instructions. Students will benefit greatly from a clearer, louder sound that will result in less miscommunication. So my goal is to make sure that students do not misunderstand or miss what I'm saying while I'm instructing in my mask.
