REDCAT Media Receives 2010 Product Awards of Excellence

TESTIMONIALS

"I've found the system beneficial to my students' understanding of what I am saying and also to reduce the strain on my voice"

Teacher - Ruislip High School
"I feel there has been a positive effect on the students' overall achievement as I have experienced fewer behavioural problems since using the REDCAT"

Miss Snowden, English Teacher, Dormers Wells High School
"I found that the REDCAT system was easy to use and a real benefit in PSHE and Food lessons"

Carol Gadsden, Life Skills / Food Teacher, The Harefield Academy
"I think it is a great system"

Don McGibbon, Year 5 Teacher, Brecknock Primary
"An excellent piece of equipment. The children that tend to not fully hear instructions, as they sit at the back of the classroom, were able to hear what was being said. After using the system I felt that my voice was quieter and that my throat was not sore."

Mel, Year 4 Teacher, Minet Junior School
"Children are quick to tell the teacher if the REDCAT isn't on. It is a great way to practice songs for performances"

Year 5 Teacher, Donnington Primary
"I think one of the most positive aspects of using the system was that I could speak at a more conversational level with the whole class, which allowed a more positive environment to develop"

Teacher, Ruislip High School

TUALATIN, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Lightspeed’s REDCAT Media was awarded the 2010 Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence, an honor that recognizes product innovation that meets the changing needs of the education technology environment. REDCAT Media is an extension of Lightspeed’s REDCAT - the leading, no-install classroom audio solution.

Over 140 product entries were test-driven by a panel of 30 educators from the New York City Department of Education, the University of Michigan, and T&L advisors. Evaluation criteria include rigorous quality and effectiveness testing, along with assessment for suitability of use in an educational environment. "Now that the use of technology in schools is no longer a novelty but a reality, it's no longer about the promise of what a product can do; it's about the proof," says Kevin Hogan, Editorial Director for NewBay Media's Tech & Learning Group.

In addition to maintaining high speech intelligibility and even distribution of sound, REDCAT Media offers a full-range, stereo-quality experience from videos, movies, and music in the classroom. "It's a privilege to be the only classroom audio product recognized by T&L. This indicates that we are staying focused in our mission to help teachers be at their best while enhancing auditory learning for children in the classroom," says Shaun Fagan, Product Manager at Lightspeed Technologies
