My Students

Can you imagine not having a wireless classroom in this day and time? Well, my students are still plugging in their headphones. They should not be subjected to being stuck in the past due to not enough school funding for our schools. My students need new technology just like other schools.

My students all come from low-income and poverty stricken neighborhoods on the Westside of Chicago, but they love technology.

They really enjoy using technology, but don't have the opportunity to use it due to lack of funds. However; this doesn't stop their learning, but they would love to have technology.

My Project

I am requesting a Wireless Classroom Headphones Set for my students to be able to listen to their daily lessons in literacy and science. They can be in a group of four and have their own headphones and don't have to wait to one person finish before they can hear their lesson. My students love to use headphones and now they can be at their desk and still listen to their headphones while going along with their books.

By contributing to this project my students will be able to use wireless headphones in their classroom.

They won't be able to have to be worried with cords and they can work at their desk anywhere in the classroom. My students need a chance to come accustom to the new technology in this day and age. This will prepare them and help them in the future so find it in your heart to help students that are really in need of technology.
