Since I have ELLs and students with IEPs, the use of headphones is a necessity in all daily activities in my classroom, especially in science and global history. Using the headphones for independent practice allow me to see exactly who is engaged in reading and listening assignments. What becomes a problem is the fact that when they are listening to a video without a headphone, it is distracting for others who have focusing issues and they miss important details. By having the headphones, students will be able to avoid all of these problems and focus on increasing their listening skills and learn! By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focusing skills, you will ultimately help to increase their academic learning and listening skills. Students will be able to simply focus on their academic material at hand, block out other noises and distractions. Plus in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn.
