A media specialist at an elementary school in Michigan called me to today to make arrangements for a purchase order for FloPrompter. We got to talking and she told me how the students at her school are using FloPrompter.

Every morning, a couple of students make the announcements over the school’s PA system. They also tell the weather, maybe a brief news report. That sort of thing.

The media specialist acts as director and producer, helping the students set things up and deliver the announcements successfully every day. She color codes the text for each student so that one reads text in one color, the other reads text in the other color. She said that FloPrompter helps the kids a lot. When they read from sheets of paper, their heads are facing the desk and it’s hard to hear them. Now that they’re using FloPrompter, they’re keeping their heads up, they’re speaking more clearly, and they’re having a lot of fun. “They really enjoy it,” she said.

That’s fantastic! I love hearing stories about how our customers are using FloPrompter in innovative ways. Public speaking skills are incredibly important in life and the kids at this elementary school in Michigan are getting a head start.
