My Project

The use of headphones l is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially for reading. As a dual language immersion teacher listening to a book, a song without the sound around interrupting helps them to improve their vocabulary and understanding of the words. The headphones also helps when it comes to reading out loud since the microphones just capture their voices and they can listen to what they read and check their words.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material, and not whether their words are correct and vocabulary is enough. Plus in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
