My Project

Equipping my students with a full set of classroom headsets will enable them to conveniently listen to instructional materials, watch videos, and engage in recordings without having to leave the classroom. This setup ensures that students can easily seek assistance from me while staying in their designated workspace.

Our school has banned cell phones and personal earphones/headsets in our classrooms.

In order for my students to listen to videos and instructional materials, they need headsets. Currently, they are reading Closed Captioning, if available. Having their own headphones allows me to create more engaging lessons.
