SpiritTM Audio PodTM Stereo Learning Centers
Model 1776PLC6T (Tabletop) Model 1776PLC6C (Rolling) Teachers rely on these classroom learning centers to help eliminate classroom clutter and assist small groups of beginning readers.
While educators rely on learning centers, all too often teachers, media specialists, and reading teachers spend too much of their time locating and organizing listening center equipment, reading materials, and audio components into one convenient place.
To address this problem, Califone has designed these all in one audio solutions to eliminate clutter and to keep audio equipment and listening materials organized in one central location. Available in either portable or stationary models, each of the two Spirit Audio Pods has dedicated storage spaces for the included Spirit multimedia player/recorder, jackbox, six headphones, areas for your own audio materials, books, and a special section to organize cables and cords. This encourages students to take better care of the equipment while allowing teachers to quickly track each audio component for future use. They also support state requirements for developing oral communication skills and understanding media literacy as a part of recommended educational technology standards.
Since the audio equipment is readily available, the Spirit Audio Pods allow students to begin their lessons promptly and clean up efficiently afterward, which decreases waiting time between activities and optimizes available learning time.

Benefits of having students listen to the text they’re reading include:
- Helps those who have trouble conceptualizing that words have both sounds and meaning - Helps to improve fluency, which in turn will lead to better comprehension of text - Helps expand student vocabulary - Students better understand the effect of pace and prosody on their own reading - Audio books further enable students to explore various genres and utilize their own values and judgments to choose texts. Students who are read to on a daily basis are found to have positive changes in their attitude toward reading - The spoken word and the visual word reinforce each other
