My students need need quality headphones to access literacy and math technology when laptops are used in our classroom, so that both struggling and advanced readers can access and comprehend text-based content.
Diversity of every kind characterizes my class this year, but most notably in the number of languages spoken at home. Half of my students speak some language other than English, including Bulgarian, Russian, Serbian, Ukrainian, and Hindi.
Home language diversity is so great this year, my class is like a mini United Nations!
I also love how my students are proud to write their true names (with Cyrillic, Chinese, or Hindi script) alongside the English spelling when publishing their written work.
These students are all hard-workers who are hungry to learn English. They are on the road to becoming great American citizens who will engage in our democracy.
My Project
What good is a learning app on a laptop if students can't hear the audio content due to a lack of headphones? Can you just imagine 23 youngsters all trying to hear their programs being played aloud all at once? It's chaotic!
Smart and durable "BestGot" headphones will allow students to maximize the apps on laptops that already exist in our school.
Children need a quiet and calm environment in which to engage, and a class set of headphones will restore the scholarly tone needed to learn during technology time. Headphones will magically transform our learning environment in an instant!
