My Project

In our kindergarten classroom, iPads serve as vital tools for personalized learning, providing access to educational apps tailored to each student's individual academic level. To fully benefit from these resources, functioning headphones are essential. They allow students to clearly hear instructions and immerse themselves in their learning activities without distractions. Sadly, our current supply of headphones has become unreliable, with many being broken or faulty, leading to distorted sound and hindering student engagement. When students are unable to use headphones, the classroom environment becomes noisy and distracting as the audio from multiple iPads overlaps.

Investing in sets of new, high-quality headphones would make a significant positive impact on both individual learning and our overall classroom environment.

The specific headphones we've identified are known for their durability, offering the promise of reliable use throughout the entire school year, ensuring that each of my students has consistent access to the auditory support they need to succeed in their daily learning.
