[Athen] SmartMic

[Nettie Fischer]

I do not beleive it was designed for multiple users - and, if several people
use the same mask, sounds pretty unsanitary to me too.  Also, having worked
with students for many years, they do not like to look different and, boy,
would that look DIFFERENT!!!!   Most of the kiddo's or should I say all of
the kiddo's that have the cognition level to use Dragon WOULD NOT put that
mask on in a public setting -
