Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am looking to get a set of classroom headphones. Students will have access to these during class time. We often use the online platform IXL to practice skills learned in class independently. The platform offers students tutorial videos if they get stuck. However, without headphones they are unable to utilize this feature. The possibility of 20+ computers playing audio simultaneously does not foster a proper learning environment.

Having a set of classroom headphones will allow students to explore and learn independently with ease.

They can utilize the IXL video tutorials or other videos available online to strengthen their understanding of class material.
