Listen Up!

Help me give my students headphones and ear muffs. These headphones will be used when students are listening to the audio on the computer. The ear muffs will be helpful for when students need to concentrate.

My Project

My students each bring their own unique personalities and skills to the classroom. They are thinkers and learners. They ask questions, read to find information, and want to learn more.

These headphones and ear muffs are going to be especially useful for students during work times.

The headphones will help students to be more engaged when working on their computers by enabling them to only hear their own computer audio. The ear muffs will help students who need to concentrate on their work by reducing the day to day classroom sounds.
