Listen Technologies Soundfield Solutions Help Improve Student Comprehension at Channing Hall K-8 Charter School
INFOCOMM, LAS VEGAS, NV, June 18, 2014 — Listen Technologies Corporation (booth C10339), a leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of assistive listening products for over 15 years, recently saw the implementation of its ListenPoint 2.0 soundfield solutions at Channing Hall, a Draper, Utah K-8 charter school operating under the guidelines of the International Baccalaureate.
First grade teacher Jessica Short faces a common challenge for teachers: making sure she is heard clearly by each student in the classroom. Despite her best efforts, she often found herself frustrated that all her students could not hear her voice at the same level, at the same time. Her students at the back of the classroom could not hear her when she was instructing from the front of the room and vice versa. Short was also irritated by the fact that every time she wanted to incorporate music or media into a lesson, she would have to walk to her computer, taking time away from her lessons and students, which is something that all good educators try to avoid. Short found her solution in Listen Technologies’ ListenPoint 2.0 system, resulting in better comprehension, retention and participation among her students.
Soundfield systems such as the ListenPoint 2.0 transform the average classroom into enhanced educational environments, incorporating AV technology and assistive listening systems so that all students can have the opportunity to hear their teacher clearly. It’s the most advanced, flexible, and scalable Soundfield system for educators. It’s also easy to install, operate, maintain, and adds more functionality over time. Teachers can include music, video, and Internet connectivity for added enhancement.
After the installation of the ListenPoint 2.0 in Ms. Short’s first grade classroom, her students became more engaged in the learning process and participating more in her lessons. Now, she is looking forward to teaching a new class of first graders to read next year. Short notes, “ListenPoint 2.0 helps my students hear me clearly. I love that I can use my music for my lessons and control it from the microphone. It’s very easy to use. Even my students use it when they give their presentations. All of my students are now able to listen better and are more on task since the ListenPoint 2.0 was installed.”
