Help me give my students this Soundlink speaker so that they can hear the audio/visual files that I frequently use to augment the topics we cover and play music/videos that they create for their own projects.

My Students
We are the premier arts and academic high school in a large city. Students have to audition to gain entrance, as well as prove themselves academically. Students are always excited to be able to work with technology.
My students are very diverse, both ethnically and economically.
This past year in my classroom, students used technology to design presentations, complete research projects, create reenactments of historical events, create political advertisements, record routines reflecting trends in dance, write and perform music and design architectural drawings for monuments.
Technology has allowed us to engage with each other in meaningful ways.
My Project
We are requesting the Bose Soundlink Speakers which will enable me and my colleagues to project music and audio files to be heard from all locations in the classrooms. As artists and musicians, my students learn information in a variety of ways. Some are more auditory learners and others rely more on visuals.
Students frequently create projects utilizing their artistic strengths, including writing songs, music or skits that require decent working speakers that project sound to all corners of the room.
Materials that we will be using the speakers for include news clips, presidential press conferences and speeches, documentaries, music and other videos specifically relating to the current historical topic.
The classroom does not have speakers that work well in the room. This has become an increasing problem as some of my students are hard of hearing and require speakers that can really project sound.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
