Promethean’s ActivSound solutions enhance the classroom environment by overcoming one of the most significant barriers to learning: students’ inability to hear their teachers.
Why do we need ActivSound in the classroom?
Studies show that sound clarity is critical to student comprehension and academic performance, regardless of students’ backgrounds. Clear, intelligible speech is particularly vital during formative years when children are developing and mastering their language skills.
It’s no surprise, then, that classrooms with sound enhancement systems foster improvements in academic performance and test scores. Because young students do not process the spoken word as an adult would, optimal classroom audio conditions help ensure their learning comprehension. Our ActivSound solutions help students understand, engage and fully participate in all classroom discussions.
