Headphones can make education more entertaining in a lot of ways. It isn’t just about picking out a pair of headphones in your favorite color, it is about being able to participate in a wider variety of activities in the classroom. Using headphones to incorporate music or games into a lesson plan will keep my students engaged. This encourages them to do well in the classroom and helps keep their attention. Not everyone understands it in the same way. Some students learn better by having facts or instructions repeated to them throughout the day. Others learn through interaction and finding ways to apply the facts to things they already understand. When everyone in the classroom is using headphones, they are able to select the learning option that suits them best. They can also work at their own pace without disturbing those around them. The headphones also allow for a wider range of delivery options. For example, children can learn a wide variety of facts through songs or games on a computer.
