Always Listening, Always Learning

Help me give my students headphones to focus on their work - to listen to educational content at their own pace and be able to rewind or pause as needed for better comprehension.

My Project

Providing students with headphones will enable them to better focus on the learning task at hand. It will also permit them to eliminate any outside distractions while they listen and move through educational lessons at their own pace. Having their own headphones will allow students to rewind or pause the content as needed, thus granting them permission to truly acquire the material on their own timeline. The goal is for students can set the pace for their learning and to enjoy more flexibility. The benefit from this is autonomy and improved time management skills. They can take the necessary time to find individual success while completing the assignments. This process will increase their confidence and well-being. My students deserve these types of conveniences.
