Throwing a Curve Ball in the Classroom

The Description

Keeping students engaged is one of the most important components of a great classroom environment. That is why I am raising funds to bring Qball throwable microphone to our students. Shark Tank featured, Qball has been growing with popularity in more schools around the country.

The company founder, Shane Cox, created the Qball with the belief that "every class, meeting and event is an opportunity to change lives. But that's only possible if people can hear and learn from each other. Our mission is to give everyone a chance to participate in a fun and exciting way.“

This is an amazing opportunity for my students to be engaged and excited about accessing learning content in a new way. It would be amazing if you could support our classroom through an investment in this fundraiser. Any investment, regardless of size, would make a huge difference in bringing these resources into the hands of my students. If you are not able to contribute, please consider sharing this on social media. Thank you so much in advance on behalf of our classroom community for your continued support.

HEAR AND BE HEARD

September 23, 2018

Many factors can affect a student’s ability to hear. On average, speech must be heard at 15db over ambient noise levels in the classroom. That’s more than 2X what an adult needs!

Classroom challenges for children include:

  • Everything from air conditioning units, to classroom acoustics and layout can impact a child’s ability to hear and learn
  • Quiet talkers
  • “Teacher’s voice” – sore throats from having to talk all day
  • Sedentary students – activity (like throwing a ball) grows a better brain!
  • Download the WhitePaper, When Kids Can’t Hear, to learn more

Just like a Talking Stick, the Qball helps manage classroom discussions and increases learning. Add a Presenter Microphone to amplify the teacher’s voice, too, saving the strain that teachers feel from talking all day long.
