Audio quality plays a critical role in facilitating communication with students – especially in today’s environments. With over 130 years in the business of audio, Yamaha brings unique and innovative solutions to classroom audio.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned this year, having the right tools for teaching is more important than ever. The way we teach has changed, and we need technology that will set us up for success whether we are teaching in person, online, or a combination of both. That’s why we are so excited that our friends at Yamaha United Communications are giving twelve lucky educators a chance to win a variety of audio and video products to upgrade their classroom audio.
Effective Audio Is A Tool For Improving Student Learning
Recent studies have shown that integrated classroom audio is a proven tool to improve student’s opportunities to learn. According to The Mainstream Amplification Resource Room Study (The MARRS Project), their findings revealed that 20-25 percent or more of the current school population have academic difficulties co-existing with minimal hearing loss. This frequent hearing loss can cause students to miss important experiences and instruction in the classroom. They may also experience audio fatigue, attention problems, and concentration problems that may ultimately require special education services. With tools to enhance classroom audio, students have shown improved attention, increased classroom participation, fewer discipline issues, and improved academic success.
The most popular audio solution in the classroom is an integrated microphone system. The main use is to help amplify audio to all corners of the classroom so students can clearly hear the teacher. It’s also a great tool to implement for remote learning environments and hearing-impaired students.
