Would you recommend this speakers to an elementary classroom teacher for movies, videos, and songs? Is it loud enough?

Depends on the size of classroom, of course - but up to 50 or so, no problemRobert Patton

Yes, I recommend then, specially for movies. They look good, they are sturdy and the sound is great.

It has it's own speaker built in so I guess it would depend on the size and noise level of the room. The volume of the speaker is pretty loud in my home and the kids have used it for everything they've needed so far; I would guess for small to medium settings it would suit you.

TDP, this isn't a boom box, but a Shelf type system. It's not that big but does carry enough sound.It's about 20 pounds and 22 x 21 x 16 inches total. I think it's a really nice system, so much so, my friend bought the same unit after seeing mine. I would think you could keep it in the box or place it in a tote to carry it in for your class. It really is a decent system. Take good care!

Yes. The speakers are quite good. I've used this laptop to watch DVDs for entertainment and lecture purposes.

It has speakers but not good ones!! It's either too loud or too low. We had to buy a sound bar to make it a more enjoyable sound. But for a classroom a d not for a theater, it may be just fine.

I'd say pretty good. I use these to teach dance aerobics, very loud music. My class can hear me just fine without the music coming thru the mic.

I use it mainly for playing audio books in a classroom. It works fine. I think, for the price, it's a good deal.

This speaker would be great for a average room. In a gym it would probably not work as well. A set of the Sonos would be better choice because you can space them out and get more volume and balanced sound>

Yes. I'm a classroom teacher and I bought it for that purpose. I think it does a good job for the money.

I agree. I use one these to amplify sound from my laptop when i show videos on it in my classroom.

I wanted to get these to watch lectures for school (sometimes in the library). Will others hate me for leaking sound with these?

I think it would be good for that. I assume you are talking about a laptop/notebook computer and need something more portable. It does not really compete with fixed/wired speakers on price or on volume/sound. It is a good little speaker and does surprisingly well, but there is no "magic" that makes it sound like like a bigger speaker. It is about 5" in diameter so it can only do so much. It fills a small room with good sound, but runs out of punch in more open areas.

I haven't used the regular versions but I think it should be good for a nursery. Right now I am using it as laptop speakers for my room about 12x13 ft bedroom. It also depends how much and what you're going to play on it. I usually only plug in mine for video streams and online radios on medium volume (this can be pretty loud with some distortion at maximum volume) for less than 3 hrs most of the time. For I wouldn't use these for tv speakers where you're using it for extended periods of time. The cords provided are about 2 ft long btw.

I purchased this for an elementary school teacher in the Philippines. I was skeptical. But the teachers at her school love it, they have asked us to order 5 more. I have not seen how they use it, but from what I understand their options are to use an inexpensive low quality projector like this for more interesting A/V displays, or just a blackboard. Buying a high end high quality projector is simply not an option, as many of these teachers are paying for their own equipment. For teachers who have access to a laptop, it gives them the opportunity to make much more interesting classroom presentations than they can using a basic blackboard.

Hi Bud,if it's for a pretty large classroom, I wouldn't recommend them, unless the students can keep really quiet.Besides, though they are called wireless, they are wirelessly connected to the computer, but not between them. There actually a short wire that connects the speakers, that would make it difficult to place them in different corners of the classroom.I use them for my desk, so for me they are more than ok, but the sound they make is not impressive anyway.You can check under the technical description of the product.I hope this helps.All the best,Lucy Hi Bud,if it's for a pretty large classroom, I wouldn't recommend them, unless the students can keep really quiet.Besides, though they are called wireless, they are wirelessly connected to the computer, but not between them.

Will it play sound? No it does not play sound itself. It allows you to interact with your computer from the front of your classroom via a video projector. That said, if you have speakers connected to your computer there is no reason it won't play sound. We have connected our computers a small 20 watt amp that is connected to wall mounted speakers. Everything works swimmingly well together.
