Headphones for Concentration

Help me give my students the ability to concentrate on their own devices with personal headphones.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Shay's classroom raised $162

My Project

Learning has drastically changed in the past few years and every subject now includes some use of technology somewhere along the way. Many programs we use now allow for students to learn at their own pace, which means every student working on their own device, at the same time.

Technology drives participation.

My students are ready and excited to show what they've mastered by creating digital projects. It can sometimes be distracting, however, when over 20 other students are also creating digital content. Offering a variety of headphones will not only help with focus and concentration, but will also allow for choice and comfortability.
