Case Study: 3066-USB
Glendale, Arizona
Glendale Elementary
School District
Speaks and Plays with
USB Headsets
Glendale Elementary School District, located near
Phoenix, Arizona, is the fastest growing district
in Arizona, serving nearly 25,300 elementary
students. In an effort to further help the district's
rapidly increasing population of English language
learners (now about 3,800 students), GESD
adopted a specialized curriculum called DynEd
and needed certain technology to support the
new program. They required a headphone with
a microphone that would be sturdy enough to
handle classroom abuse, such as the Deluxe
Multimedia Stereo Headset from Califone.
"We decided to purchase the 3066-USB
headsets because we liked that they could
connect to the computer — just plug and play,"
said Delfina Rodriguez, the ELL Intervention
Program Coordinator for the district. "The
headsets are now in our schools, the majority of
them for our ELL program and others are used
throughout the district in labs or on mobile
carts." Students participating in the specialized
ELL curriculum illustrate their progress by listening
to an audio recording from the program's software,
repeating the sentence into the microphone,
recording the message, and then playing it back
to assess their own work. The students are split
into small groups, which allows the teachers to
monitor them and their progress closely. "Both
the students and the educators are excited to use
the headsets and found that they work nicely with
the specialized curriculum," Rodriguez said. In
addition, the headsets are specially designed to
reduce ambient noise, helping to prevent noise-
induced hearing loss and keep students on task
throughout the assignment.

Headphones & Headsets
USB Headset
This state-of-the-art USB headset is perfect for
broadband use. More and more curriculums are delivered
via broadband to schools and the USB 2.0 connection is faster
for better listening and vocal recording. The flexible boom microphone
is particularly useful for ESL/ELL or other language practices.
Students create podcasts or digital recordings of their language
progress. The adjustable comfort sling headband
fits all sizes and the universal USB connection
can be used with either Windows or MAC formats.

Multimedia Stereo Headset
The USB plug eliminates the need for a sound card with
this multimedia stereo headset & makes it compatible with
all computer formats. In-line volume control & windscreen
reduce unintentional sounds during recordings. These
are particularly helpful in language learning applications
when children must listen to a sound and then
respond with the correct pronunciation.

Deluxe Multimedia
Stereo Headset
Give your non-native English speakers the best
stereo headset on the market to increase the
speed of their learning curves. Individual
volume control ensures a customized sound
experience for each student. Ambient noise-
reducing earcups diminish external sounds
allowing students to better focus on learning
the material. The adjustable boom microphone
allows unlimited language practice to increase
grade-level performance. Comfortable,
adjustable, and durable, the USB technology
moves electronic information much faster and
more efficiently than does a 3.5mm plug. The
USB plug means "plug and play" performance.
