Looking at the picture on the right, the students seated are not listening to the student presenting. The presenter is face down looking into her folder and not projecting sound into the classroom, and the other students are reacting in a typical fashion when they can not hear. Students are more likely to focus when more of their senses are being used.
There have been studies showing the improvement in test scores, teacher wellness, and key issues regarding sound in the classroom.
We are getting permissions to post these studies and will be added shortly.
