Before class starts: Connect the Qball receiver to your classroom audio system (compatible with Smart Boards, projectors, and portable speakers).
Turn on the Qball using the power button. The light will indicate its status (e.g., muted or active).
Test the range (up to 75 feet) and sound quality to ensure it works well in your classroom space.
In class: Provide a discussion prompt to your students and introduce a structure such as Hot Potato.
Demonstrate how to make eye contact with someone before passing and how to softly toss it toward them when you have their attention.
Be sure to recharge the battery after 12 hours of use.
