Listening centers help teachers offer differentiated learning opportunities to smaller groups of students. The Califone series of Stereo Listening Centers tailor this learning experience to the media source already in your classroom or library. The rugged jackbox of this eight position system has both 3.5mm and 1/4” plugs to connect to the most popular audio players (including computers and stereos) and offers room for expansion with spots for two extra listeners. Like the jackbox, the high quality stereo headphones are also made with rugged ABS plastic so they won't shatter. They feature ambient noise-reducing earcups which block out external noises and reduce the need to increase the volume. The headphone rack or storage case will keep everything together until the next activity.
“For connecting multiple headphones to computers, stereos, CD players. All you have to do is to plug the earphone into the jackbox and then plug the jackbox into your audio source. Volume controls are included on the jackbox. This device comes in handy for several students playing a video game or for a group of students working on a project on one computer.” The Gadget Girls Media Review powertolearn.com, 9/25/03
