Help me give my students headphones! Our class shares Chromebooks with the other classes, and the gift of headphones would be so valuable, especially for being able to focus better their lessons.
My students are in a urban community in SouthCentral Alaska. My class in particular has quite a bit of diversity in it with upwards of sevveral cultures/ languages being spoken. The area my school services is primarily high-poverty and high-need. Our state has some of the worst statistics for domestic violence, sexual abuse, rape, depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, and suicide. For a lot of our students, school is their safe space, and it's an honor and privilege to be a part of that refuge for them.
Despite the isolation of our state and the hardships nearly every student has experienced on some level, my students are bright, kind, funny, and willing to learn.
They are resilient, flexible, and inspirational, and would be most grateful for your support. Thank you.
My Project
Our students use the Chromebooks as our main source of individual, classroom technology. The amount of digital programs, individualized lessons, supplementary programs/videos, and more is incredible! A major source of frustration we've found, is the amount of noise that builds up during tech integration because of a lack of headphones.
Being able to hear the videos, interact fully with digital lessons, and use text-to-speech technology is crucial to their learning, and the gift of headphones would provide that.
Headphones are deeply-needed, and would be used on a daily basis in order to access the limited technology available to them.
