My Project

I teach a group of 14 very diverse third graders. In this 21st-century world, we are constantly using technology devices such as iPads and Chromebooks. Typically when students are working on their devices, they are completing individualized lessons that were created just for them. I tell them that they really need to focus on their lesson in order to understand it and be able to grow. Usually, it becomes hard for them to pay attention to their own lesson when they can hear others' devices as well.

My goal is for each of them to have their own pair of headphones that can help them be able to focus solely on their device and their lesson.

I want them to be engaged in their work and not have distractions from the environment around them.
