Classroom Audio

Meeks talks about the Sound Field Enhancement System (SFES). SFES provides a wireless teacher microphone and speakers distributed throughout the room. The teacher with a wireless microphone and speakers distributed in the ceiling will enable learners with auditory issues to clearly understand what the teacher is saying. Simply being able to hear the information delivered by the teacher or instructions regarding student activities would have a huge impact on academic achievement. In this type of learning environment, the amount of time the teacher will be speaking is flipped, compared to the lecture-based delivery system. The teacher will most likely need to address the entire class no more than 10 percent of the instructional period. The very thing which made the SFES valuable--teachers lecturing--is not how today's classroom is supposed to work.
