Glendale Elementary School District Speaks and Plays with USB Headsets

Glendale Elementary School District, located near Phoenix, Arizona, is the fastest growing district in Arizona, serving nearly 25,300 elementary students. In an effort to further help the district’s rapidly increasing population of English language learners (now about 3,800 students), GESD adopted a specialized curriculum called DynEd and needed certain technology to support the new program. They required a headphone with

a microphone that would be sturdy enough to handle classroom abuse, such as the Deluxe Multimedia Stereo Headset from Califone. “We decided to purchase the 3066-USBheadsets because we liked that they could connect to the computer — just plug and play,” said Delfina Rodriguez, the ELL Intervention Program Coordinator for the district. “The headsets are now in our schools, the majority of them for our ELL program and others are used throughout the district in labs or on mobile carts.” Students participating in the specialized ELL curriculum illustrate their progress by listening to an audio recording from the program’s software, repeating the sentence into the microphone, recording the message, and then playing it back to assess their own work. The students are split into small groups, which allows the teachers to monitor them and their progress closely. “Both the students and the educators are excited to use the headsets and found that they work nicely with the specialized curriculum,” Rodriguez said. In addition, the headsets are specially designed to reduce ambient noise, helping to prevent noise- induced hearing loss and keep students on task throughout the assignment.
