JokeMaster
(Switch-Adapted) (JokeMaster 2 now
offered!)
w/optional
speaker/carry case and shoulder strap (Click pics for larger images)
I'm always looking for something for
learners to *do*, and not just practice or pretend. So my
colleague, Bryan, came across this nifty device and told me about
it. I didn't think that much of it because I put it in the 'cute'
category. I took it on several of my RoadTrips and there were a
few professionals that lit up, saying "That would be great for
Nicholas!" I gave a few away and loved to hear that one boy was
telling jokes at his middle school lunch, using his switch and a
microphone! Impressive.
So I decided to take a bunch of them to 2004's year's Closing The Gap
conference, our biggest event of a year. We put around 20 of them
on the top of a shelving unit on which we were offering 4 of our most
popular products at special show prices.
Boy, was I surprised. People were very excited about them.
We sold out almost immediately! Once again, people had certain
users in mind right away. I do hope to hear more stories like
above!
There are 2 switch inputs. The top one for telling a new joke,
and
the bottom one for repeating the last. Also has a
headphone/speaker
jack on right (as shown with optional carry case/speaker above).
By itself it's not as loud as I would have liked, but it's great
anyway! If you get the *optional* carry case/speaker, then it's
plenty loud! You can even plug it into a sound system for a real
'comedian' experience for an audience!
And the company that makes this (except for the switch adaptation,
which we do here), will have a JokeMaster 2 out soon with more jokes.
There are 141 jokes in JokeMaster Jr. 2 Click here to
hear one of them Click here to

the original JokeMaster, so listening to them above gives you an idea
of the
jokes on JokeMaster 2!
