CALIFONE.com
Familiar Audio Technology
Goes to School!
Our MP3 player hosts an industry-rst dual headphone
jacks, making it ideal for learning centers, language labs and
libraries because two students can share one device.
Its ambient noise-reducing headphone and volume limiting
playback features meet standards recommended by the
American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
Unlike products purchased from consumer
electronics stores, all Califone products come
with our unique warranty, covering school,
early childhood center and library uses.

Your Students Can Become Podcasters!
What would you say to a new MP3 player that has all the standard features you expect
combined with several classroom specic elements and the rugged, classroom-ready construction
and hearing safety protection you expect from Califone? Protecting students from dangerous
hearing loss is important to us, so we are proud to announce the Califone model has
been designed as the rst MP3 player/recorder with its playback volume not to exceed
the 85dB recommendation of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
Our MP3 player comes with a built-in microphone, enabling student-created podcasting.
Podcasting meets technology standards in many states giving students a new technology
outlet to collaborate, publish, and communicate their ideas and projects. Students will have fun
creating vocal recordings that can then be used to track their language and reading progress
over time. The MP3 player is also ideal for nurturing language learning, working with below-
grade readers and listening to recorded books and music. Teachers are actively nding
additional uses for MP3 players inside and outside the classroom.
Our 8100 is particularly helpful with special-needs students and with ELL/ELD students
as it provides a personal and portable way to fast-track language acquisition or other
necessary learning. An LCD screen displays the current track status, track number, total
tracks, and track time allowing both instructors and students to stay on task. And
with an eye to stretching your technology dollars, our MP3 player connects to
two headphones at one time so that students can partner with peers or parents for
listening or recording projects. Another prominent safety feature is in its accompanying
headphone, whose ambient noise-reducing earcups reduce distracting noise, therefore
lessening the need to increase the volume. Not only does its mini USB connection
allow quick transfers of digital les to and from a computer, the MP3 player
automatically recharges the internal battery in 5 hours while it is connected
to the computer.

Advocates for Safe
Listening Practices
Hearing loss can lead to numerous problems in
school, such as difculty with academic achievement
in language arts, vocabulary, arithmetic, and
problem solving. Califone believes part of its duty
includes helping educators inform their students
on how to responsibly use audio technology.
Hearing loss can be caused by many factors, but
one that has caught the attention of safe hearing
advocates (with the recent rise in popularity of
personal MP3 players) is Noise-Induced Hearing
Loss. This condition results from listening for too
long to audio that is amplied beyond decibel
levels considered safe. Every day, students put
their hearing at risk, often listening to audio above
85 decibels, which is the level hearing experts
recommend not to be exceeded for prolonged
periods. The American Speech Language Hearing
Association (ASHA) recently found that 40
percent of students reported they set their music
players’ volume too loud. All Califone headphones
and headsets incorporate ambient noise-reducing
earcups, which block external noise more effectively
than the ear bud design, eliminating the need
to raise the volume. Califone designed its
MP3 player
decibel level — the only manufacturer to do so
— through its innovative Sentinel
The company’s goal in creating the MP3 Player is
to provide educators with an accessible technology
that enhances instruction and prepares students
for the 21st century. Students are increasingly
comfortable with the technology of personal audio
players, and Califone wants to ensure its MP3
player and headphones continue to set the education
industry standard for technical innovation and
student safety. To learn how to prevent Noise-
Induced Hearing Loss & about ASHA’s safe hearing

The Music Maker™ USB
Our new digital media player truly does it all. It supports the most popular audio media (CD/CD-R/CD-RW, MP3) and can play, record, or store
to its 512 MB ash memory or to an SD card (not included). Giving educators a wealth of exibility in how they use audio to support language
acquisition, the Music Maker™ USB can be utilized by individual students working at classroom learning centers or as part of a presentation to
as many as 75 people. The resulting digital le can be transferred through the mini USB port to a computer or media player and become part
of a student’s formative assessments or even emailed home to their parents. Its built-in variable speed playback gives teachers the opportunity
to slow down the audio playback so that students can distinguish tricky letter and word combinations. Whether they are native English speakers
learning to read or ELL/ELD students mastering English, the ability to slow the delivery speed and repeat as often as necessary is a compelling
feature of this digital wonder.

Students who read along silently while listening to a recording of a book can make
signicant gains in uency and comprehension from this single activity. This holds true for
struggling readers whose native language is English as well as non-native English speakers.
It can also be used to support comprehension, phonics, vocabulary, Special Ed, ELD, ELL
and other language learning applications. Students reap the benet of one-to-one
instruction in class and at home. Our sturdy CD player is designed for single or group

Intervention at
Northview High School
Northview High School in Covina, California,
is a school known for its leadership and interest
in pioneering new programs. With more than
51% of the school’s 1,532 students referred for
intervention, Hillary Wolfe, Northview’s learning
specialist, understood the urgency behind
developing a specialized program for students
struggling with reading. “Our literacy academy is
a great way to serve many students at the same
time,” Wolfe explained. “Though it took a lot of
extra effort to get some of the teachers and
students excited about the program at rst, we
now have more than 70 peer tutors across the
curriculum.” Students are able to come to the
library, meet with their peer tutor, check out a
recorded book, listen and read along on their
CD102
players from Califone, and review the
material. “The kids really enjoy the CD players,
especially the portable nature of the system,”
Wolfe said. “With this new program, the
library is now bustling. So many students are
coming through, we started a book club and we
are trying to set-up an inter-library exchange
with the community library to access even more
recorded books.” Like many other assisted reading
programs, informal studies have illustrated that
using technology while reading, such as recorded
books and CD players, can interest students in
new genres, improve critical listening skills and
emphasize the humor or sadness in texts. “Most
importantly, we have seen on average a 36-40%
improvement in grades for all of the intervention
program participants,” Wolfe concluded.

Infrared Classroom Cassette Recorder/Player
NCLB reading requirements reinforce what teachers do naturally with new or struggling readers and that is
to work with them one to one or in small groups. This cassette recorder/player creates cord-free listening (34B-IR)
for students and teachers to work up to 15 feet away from the listening station. Infrared audio transmission allows
the teacher to be in control of “who, what, and when” — not the technology. Or if the preference is to
use wired headphones, it’s outtted with seven built-in headphone jacks. Loud enough to carry sound to
50 people, teachers have the option to use it for whole-class instruction or in small groups anywhere in a
classroom or library. A built-in mic enables essential modeling and response activities.
