My Project

I am writing to request additional classroom technology resources to support student learning. Specifically, we are in need of headphones and computer mice for student use.

These items are essential for activities that involve multimedia content, online assessments, and interactive learning platforms.

Having access to individual headphones would help minimize distractions and allow students to focus better during lessons. Similarly, computer mice are necessary for improving ease of navigation and accessibility, especially for students or those with motor challenges.

I hope it is possible to provide 30 pairs of headphones and at least 50 mice, it would make a significant difference in our daily classroom activities and greatly enhance the learning experience.
