As a teacher working in a Title I school, I am constantly challenged to think outside of the box to create engaging and leveled learning environments. I have found using technology-driven lesson plans in my classroom has created an equitable and exciting learning experience for ALL my students. I am currently working with programs like Nearpod, Google Classroom, simulation-based Social Studies games, and teacher-created projects. I am constantly looking for exciting videos, games, and interactive lessons which can be done in a small group or independently using technology. I have already purchased headphones for my classroom, but I have found them to be poor quality and unable to block out background noise for enhanced concentration. My goal as a teacher is to find resources that put my students in the driver's seat. Passive learning does not work, student-led learning does. These headphones will just be another tool in my tool box to continue to create these types of learning experiences for my students.
