My Project

My students are on the computers for at least 20 minutes per day, per subject. In order to help the students stay focused on their own computer and not disrupt others around them, each student needs a set of their own headphones. Our current headphones are old, peeling, and many don't work any longer.

By having their own headphones, students will be able to stay focused on what they are learning, and not interrupt the learning of others around them.

Since students spend so much time on the computer completing individualized lessons, when students listen to what others are working on, it causes confusion and frustration. "Why are they working on that, and I'm doing this?" Let's be honest, it's hard enough to keep students engaged and on task while they are on the computer, listening to someone else's lesson certainly doesn't help the situation! When students have their own headphones, it also teaches them responsibility. Each student would be responsible for keeping their headphones in working order.

I know my students would be so grateful and appreciative! It would make them feel so loved! Please help my students by making a donation to get everyone a set of headphones.
