Read our book "Equipment You May Find in Teaching and Learning Rooms"
This book introduces the most common pieces of equipment you’ll find in a teaching space. Use the contents page to navigate through the different sections.
The specific model or brand of equipment in your room may look slightly different, and you may have more or fewer items than those shown here. This guide is intended to provide a general overview.
12. Microphones
12.4. Gooseneck microphone
A gooseneck microphone is a fixed microphone with a flexible neck that can be bent or turned to position it near your mouth. They come in different sizes and models, but all serve the same purpose: to capture clear speech from the lectern.
Because it is fixed in place, it will only pick up your voice if you remain close to the lectern. Please avoid moving too far away. If you plan to move around while teaching, use a lapel, lanyard, or handheld microphone instead.
