Listen Up!: Multimedia Classroom Listening

My students need to use multimedia through our classroom set of iPads, so a class set (20) of headphones and a set of speakers would be really helpful for student to focus on learning.

My Students

Hard work paid off with a awarded grant for a classroom set of iPads, and while multimedia in the classroom is a fantastic tool, it can be loud and learning distraction.

My students are are 8th graders at an "urban" Montana middle school, where we have a stratification of incomes, from 50% poverty to 50% wealthy, with no real middle class students.

They are energetic and fun to work with, but at the same time, they need opportunities they cannot find at home.

My Project

Research is important and information isn't all static on a webpage. Interactive information is essential, and being able to focus on that information without distraction is really important. This class set of headphones will help eliminate the noise of dozens of researchers working at once in a room.

These headphones will really make a difference for all my students, from those listening to information, like reading a book and listening to the audiobook at the same too.

To those researching for an essay, or those whom are in the room, working on another project, but don't need to hear other student's work these small devices will make a significant difference for my student's learning.
