Help me give my students the ability to hear our audio resources in class!

My Project

I am lucky to work with amazing students in the suburbs of Chicago. My students are curious, thoughtful, and engaged learners. Our school is in a diverse community, and I have 130 wonderful seventh graders in my classroom each week. This project supports students in 7th-grade Social Studies.

Please help us to access audio resources in the classroom!

Currently, audio from educational resources plays through our projector. It is often difficult to hear--sometimes we are unable to hear anything at all. This Bluetooth speaker will help us experience better quality audio when learning with videos, music, and more. We also sometimes use headphones to help students learn at their own pace. Having a class set of headphones would be a great help to us!
