Classroom audio provider Lightspeed Technologies has introduced three new features to its Flexcat classroom audio system designed for small-group learning, which consists of a wearable microphone for the teacher, a speaker for whole-group instruction, and a set of two-way audio pods that allow teachers to listen and speak to small groups from anywhere in the classroom so they can reinforce, respond to, and challenge students. Lightspeed’s new mobile app turns teachers’ iOS devices into remote controls. This allows them to switch among the twoway audio pods directly from their devices, making the Flexcat a simpler and more seamless tool for gathering critical learning insights. Included with the app is expanded coverage for up to twelve audio pods, creating a powerful tool for large classrooms, small-group instruction, team teaching, and professional development events. Flexcat now also supports whisper coaching, a variation on informative assessment. Through a small earpiece worn by teachers and their mentors, mentors can listen in to ongoing conversations between teachers and student groups. It also allows teachers and mentors to have private conversations between their earpieces for real-time coaching and highlighting teachable moments.
