My school is a Title I school that serves a multi-cultural population, including the Native American Washoe Tribe. Our school consists of about 440 students, which includes a large amount of students who receive free or reduced price lunch. I teach ELA to 75 of those 5th graders.
My students are highly motivated by any and all technology they have access to.
Their sweet faces light up when they learn new things, or their learning curiosity is peaked. They are eager to succeed, hardworking, and appreciative of all we do as a school and a community for them and their families.
My Project
Using the acoustic headphones students are able to learn digitally in even a noisy classroom. They can listen to video lessons, create their own stories using the micophone, or listen to group lessons on Google Meet if they are home sick or even in the same classroom.
These will enable my students to concentrate and focus by blocking noise both from the classroom and their chrome books to other students.
My students biggest obstacle to focus in individualized digital learning lessons is noise. Using these headphones, one group of students could be collaborating (from their seats) in a way that wouldn't disturb students even at the same table. Collaboration and individualized lessons are so important to today's learner and tomorrow's citizen.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
