By donating to our headphones fund, you will be assisting my students in various ways. I plan to use the headphones to differentiate lessons through the use of technology. I am unable to do this now because the audio they hear is all different and it sounds chaotic in the classroom. They cannot focus on their own assignment. The headphones I have requested also have a microphone on them, which will allow students to narrate their writing samples and add pictures, thus creating true multimedia projects. They are truly excited about this possibility.
