My Project

So I recently went to a presentation where they used this microphone to allow students to ask questions and project in a large group. My class does presentations for large groups and I feel this could be a great tool that would allow students to have fun and speak up.

I feel this throwable microphone will help students in my class speak up and make sure the class and audience hear their voice.

This is a great project for my students that sometimes don't speak English very well. So they speak quietly. This will help them understand the importance of being heard. I also have students with speech disabilities that can't speak up. I would love to think this will help them better project in our classroom.
