Computer Knowledge and Comfort is The Wave of the Future!

Help me give my students headphones for our Computer Lab. I serve every student in our school a typing lesson and brain challenges every four days. Thanks!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Smith's classroom raised $379

My Project

Our computer lab is referred to as a "Special" in our school. Students know when they arrive in the lab they will be learning how to type and perform some brain challenges.

We have been working with our older headphones since 2000.

The headphones are critical for each student to be able to work at their own pace. We use a program called Type to Learn which keeps each student moving through the process on their own.

Each student also earns some free time at the end of lab for them to enjoy some music or play a game. The headphones are what makes this time so positive and enjoyable for each student.

Thanks so much for any support that you might send our way.

We really appreciate it!
