Boom boxes and media players help integrate technology into classrooms by providing audio amplification and assistive listening so more students can hear. Whether for classroom-wide listening or smaller learning centers with headphones, creating focused individual student sound fields can enhance language learning by helping to keep students on task. Multiple playback capabilities can be used for student assessment to assist data driven decision makers. Players are also used for audio modeling by speech language pathologists and in bilingual education, storytime, reading, special education needs, and literacy training.
