The students lead a self-directed learning environment, and need to be able to listen to the content on their iPads. Every morning, they will be engaging in math lessons on their iPads with the use of these headphones. State testing has really put a strong emphasis on students' fluency at typing. In order to procure a strong, fluid response, students need to be fluent on the keyboard to keep their thoughts flowing. If they need to think about every letter they are typing, they can't focus their brain power on the answer they are trying to give! Students will be engaging daily during writing time to strengthen their typing fluency so they can perform with ease on the keyboard. In a technologically-advanced learning age, I hope to ensure that each of my students has as good a chance as the next to be successful in the classroom and in their future! With these keyboards and headphones for each student, I can help point them in the right direction.
