My 7th grade science classes are a creative and thoughtful group of students. We explore science together through a variety of methods; reading, writing, experiments, and digital learning. My students love to explore scientific topics through interactive websites, videos, games, and on-line quiz competitions.
This group of students is very diverse, with students of varying backgrounds, learning styles and academic interests.
Our students span the socio-economic spectrum and have varied experiences outside school. I like to personalize their learning to meet their individual educational needs.
My Project
These headphones are going to allow me to personalize my students' learning. I create personal learning playlists that offer students choice and freedom to work at their own pace. Playlists include activities, lessons, videos, assignments and projects.
Learning in my class includes highly engaging, online videos, interactive websites, and collaborative online learning opportunities.
Because students are working at their own pace, they need headphones to be able to focus on their work and not be distracted by the sounds coming from the other students' computers around them. Students work independently, allowing me to give more one on one attention. Students are also given some choice in how they learn material. Because of this, students are more successful, engaged, learn to love learning and are successful in high school and beyond.
