sound. You might look up the model and brand you are using to find out
how to adjust sound. Then if it is not clearly marked on the keyboards,
just get colored dots and put them on the keys they need to press to
adjust the sound.
OR...you might want to look at getting a hardware device that fits into
the sound out port that the headphones then plug into that has sound
adjustment on it.
Here is one that is under $7 and it even allows for two sets of
headphones to be connected to one computer if you ever needed that:

Subject: changing volume without exiting all programs
I mistakenly bought headphones for my lab without volume control. And to
adjust volume for some of the games for younger children requires that I
close the program to get to the volume control.

Does anyone know of a good, easy, and cheap way to use the keyboard to
adjust volume?

thanks in advance for any ideas,

I deleted the original email so forgive me for hoping it's quoted
correctly as: "Does your upper school curriculum include technology
and/or computer science as a graduation requirement?"
And my answer is yes.
*******************************************
Freshmen: Introduction to CIS
We combined material from A+ and MOUS certifications to provide our
students with a hands on approach to both the hardware and software of a
computer.
* This approach prepares our students for a dual-enrollment community
college class we offer
*******************************************
Sophomore: Introduction to CS
We developed this class to feed into AP Computer Science so it
emphasizes programming in Java. When student desire and time permits we
can include Robotics - also in java.
However, to keep kids engaged in this required class we also include
HTML, a brief section on animation, and creating simple games in Visual
Basic.
* This approach prepares students for AP, but it also keeps non-compsci
students engaged.
*******************************************
Jr./Sr: Advanced CIS
This is a high school / community college dual-enrollment class where
our participants can elect to pay the tuition and receive college
credit.
NOTE: we'll be moving this class down to our Freshmen soon and replacing
it with another class having more of a Network+ & Server+ emphasis.
* This approach caps our approach to preparing students for college as
well as equipping them to work while attending college.
*******************************************
We requests permit we offer:
Honors Computers
AP Computer Science
Web Development
