Be sure to watch the video!
Westwood Elementary School in Warren, Michigan!!
The winning video for the FrontRow Show-and-Tell Video Contest is Enhanced Learning with the FrontRow System submitted by Pam Ansell, SLP, and Lisa Meneghin, Teacher.
This video did a fantastic job demonstrating the numerous benefits of the new FrontRow student microphone in the classroom by showing how the microphone:
- Makes presentations easier to hear
- Engages audiences that have lost focus
- Motivates unmotivated presenters
- Enhances presentation skills
- Impacts phonemic awareness and differentiation vital to literacy
- Increases student participation
FrontRow Prize Package!
Westwood chose the FrontRow prize package that included twelve complete FrontRow systems with IR speakers, teacher pendant mic, student mic, and the drop-in charger.
Installed with the support of our FrontRow authorized reseller, Sehi Computer Products, these systems will help outfit their school with FrontRow so every classroom can experience the same benefits. Additionally, the winning classroom will receive a gift certificate to help buy some books and supplies for the room.
Particularly powerful was how the video showed the impact on one particular special needs student. This student was so engaged by the microphone that he participated in the lesson and interacted with the teacher and class more than he ever had before. The impact of the entire FrontRow sound system was so significant to his learning experience that by the end of the day the child chose to move his desk closer to the speaker because, in his own words, "the sound goes into the speaker so I can hear words, and I can learn better."
