I am a 2nd grade teacher to a wonderful group of students! They are constantly impressing me with their hard working attitude, amazing work ethic, and overall positive outlook on life. I am so proud to be their teacher. They deserve the best education possible. Currently, my kiddos have 1:1 access to iPads and we have some wonderful individualized apps to help them be successful in both math and reading! However, it becomes very loud and difficult to work independently when 20 iPads are on at the same time. Most of my students can not afford headphones. The cheap earbuds that I purchase for them to use do not last long and are not comfortable for the students to wear. Our independent work time would be so much more successful if each student had their own pair of headphones to wear! The Qball wireless microphone is special because it can be thrown around the room to all the students, without being broken, while they project their voices into the ball. My students need a Qball microphone to encourage class discussions during Language Arts and Math. Not only would it be more exciting to participate in class discussions, but everyone would actually be able to hear their peers' ideas!
