Gooseneck Microphone
Available in some classrooms on the podium, these bendable microphones allow a speaker to stand at the podium to be heard. Speakers who are soft-spoken may need to lean in towards the microphone in order to be heard better.
If a lavalier (lapel-style) microphone is available in the room, OIT recommends using that microphone if the speaker wishes to move away from the podium and around the room.
