My Project

I teach Biology in Norfolk Virginia. During the pandemic, students were given Chromebooks for virtual learning. Once we returned to in-person learning, the students were still given a Chromebook. Now we do blended learning. We do direct teaching with some assignments done online with different apps. Last year, I got a class set of headsets from our media center. Over time they disappeared. This year they did not have any. I give independent assignments on a regular basis that requires students to listen to a video. Even though some videos have closed captions, most students still need to hear the sound. With a group of 20-25 students, it gets very chaotic if they need to hear the sound instead of reading the captions. Some of my classes are inclusion classes. My students could really use headsets to make the process much easier and less chaotic. I need the bins to store the headsets and other items I previously received from Donors Choose.
