After several years of managing headsets (1-1 laptop program with
lots of audio recording in place), we made them a mandatory school
supply, along with flash drives. We purchased them in bulk from
CDWG, along with 2 GB USB flash drives (from a local vendor).
Parents were given the option of purchasing on their own or being
billed ($19 for the combo) if we made the purchase. So far, so
good. We purchased the same headsets I used in my lab last spring
(Labtech) - affordable and as durable as headsets twice the price.
Headsets were distributed via advisories with small ziploc bags.
They'll be stored in language classrooms but available for all
classes as needed.

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to
live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the
same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but
burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like
spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue
centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!' "-- Jack Kerouac
