Hear, Ye! Hear Ye! Sturdy Headsets for Our Computer Lab!

Help me give my students state-of-the art, sturdy headsets to use in our Computer Technology lab! We engage in many different focused programs for Coding, Digital Literacy, word processing, writing and editing, movie-making, and so much more!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gilday's classroom raised $203

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are crazy about Computer Technology! We work with Google Apps for Education, Code.org, Robotics, keyboarding skills and apps, learn to use different word processing programs for writing and editing, spreadsheets, research, digital literacy and much more! My students often ask to miss their lunch and recess time to stay in the lab to make and edit digital films, work coding, robotics, create slideshows, etc. They are eager to learn new technology skills and teach each other new tips and tricks they learn.

My Project

We have a fantastic iMac lab with new iMac desktops, but we do not have headphones! It is difficult to focus, make movies, digitally edit, code, and create digital presentations without headphones. There are so many exciting programs we work on in our Computer Science class, and it really requires focus for individual students to engage with the different computer apps with which they are working. Your generous donation of quality, sturdy headsets will help every child in our building increase their Computer Technology skills, from writing and editing, coding, making games, keyboarding, creating slideshows and more. Thank you in advance for your generosity and support!
