These headphones will help students' computer time to go more smoothly. We use computer programs for RTI (Response to intervention is one hour everyday), centers, reading, writing, math, social studies and science throughout the day. The headphones are large enough to fit their ears. Also, they can hear better to stay on task. The programs we utilize on a daily basis also help to support our ELL population, students who need phonics/reading support (Mac Scholar), and SWD's. Some programs we use are Myon (for reading), dream box (for math), various informational websites and videos for social studies and science. Often, too much time is wasted because they are telling me their headphones don't work and then they have no choice but to not use any which can be hard to hear in a classroom of twenty-six.
