My students are in need of their own headphones with built-in microphones to support their usage of educational technology. In a generation where students are motivated by technology, they want to become YouTubers, professional game designers, and other technology-related jobs we cannot allow our only response tools to be paper and pencil. Especially when the new jobs we haven't even dreamt about yet are those our students will be seeking and likely will involve technology. If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow- John Dewey. With your generous donations, we can give all students the opportunity to utilize visual learning environments. My students love to use educational blog websites to share their learning with their peers and families at home. It is a powerfully motivating way for them to express their learning through the use of video and audio recording. Their videos are shared with their classmates and parents and they are able to receive feedback, comments, and likes. These headphones also allow students to access text at their individual reading level to be read aloud to them, or individualized lessons through our online learning programs. These headphones are so crucial in allowing my class to have resources for differentiated learning. These headphones will be utilized across many content areas at various times throughout the day. I have personally tested the ThinkWrite brand for durability and have been very pleased with the results. I am excited that students for years to come will be able to utilize these!
