ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

Remember those curly phone lines?  You know how most people don't use
them anymore?

We're currently using a very tangly jumble of headphones for outreach
sessions of a hundred or more kids at some stations which require
auditory information.

We're looking for alternatives to serve large audiences in school
settings.  Portability is essential, as is ease-of-use.  (We train
parent volunteers to help the kids with the equipment.)

Are there perhaps retractable cords?  Single-ear paddles that can be
hooked up to a multi-jack?  (We're using a walkman setup that can be
extended to plug in to several sets of headphones.)

Your non-tangly advice is very appreciated!

Thanks,
Julia
