Headphones

["Cathy L. Cheely" <cathy@PEN.K12.VA.US>]

We are purchasing a reading program for our Kindergarten
students (Breakthrough).  The company ships 3 headphones with
the package (one per computer).  Each classroom has 3 computers
through which the children will rotate.  The students will let
the others know to come to the computer for their turn so the
teacher will continue working with the other students in the
classroom as the kids rotate.

The sites we visited in a city near us said they had not yet
had any problems with sharing headphones.  I kinda cringed as I
saw kids doing this.  Headphones could not be purchased by
students as we are a very poor area so the school district will
have to absorb individual headphone costs.

I would appreciate knowing what others are doing.

I would also appreciate knowing how others are handling
microphone use by students. Any experience with multimedia
keyboards.

TIA
