Please understand that a USB headset/microphone plugs into your computer USB port, not into your telephone or headphone jack on the PC. The course takes place in the online environment, not over a telephone call. Therefore, your regular headset will not work in the online environment. Not having a USB headset with microphone will create voice delay and significant echo for other participants to painfully endure.
To purchase, you might try www.amazon.com, enter USB headset microphone into the search field and hit Enter. Pricing ranges from $10 to $100. There is no reason to spend more than $30. You are also likely to find a USB headset at Radio Shack, BestBuy, Circuit City, Fry’s, Target, etc.
