My Project
The headphones I am requesting will make a big difference in my students' self-paced learning experience by allowing them to create high-quality video content for class projects. With headphones, they’ll be able to edit their work with precision, ensuring that their voiceovers are clear and background music is balanced. This careful attention to audio quality enhances the learning experience for both creators and viewers, making lessons engaging and easy to follow. By blocking out surrounding distractions, the headphones also give students a focused, immersive workspace that fosters creativity and improves their editing skills.
My goal for this project is to empower my students to take ownership of their learning by giving them the tools they need to succeed in self-paced and collaborative projects.
My students are exceptionally creative and motivated, and they thrive when they have opportunities to produce, present, and reflect on their own work. They come from diverse backgrounds, bringing unique perspectives and ideas that enrich our classroom environment. This project will allow them to channel that individuality into polished video projects, developing technical skills that will serve them in school and beyond. With these headphones, they can amplify their voices—literally and figuratively—in a way that makes learning personal and impactful.
More than half of students from low‑income households
