My Students

I teach at a Title I school in Morgan County, Alabama where over 60% of our students receive free or reduced-cost lunch. Our students are respectful, hardworking and full of energy. They love to learning new things.

Our school is a small school with many eager students wanting to explore the Computer Science world.

As we have embarked on many new opportunities for our students, we need more items to continue sparking their interest in the never-ending Computer Science world.

My Project

Headphones/Earbuds can completely change how a student thinks about learning. While education headphones/earbuds have the power to help enhance the learning experience, the right headphones/earbuds can also increase concentration.

Many students learn better by having facts or instructions repeated to them throughout the day.

Some students learn through interaction and finding ways to apply the facts to things they already understand. When all students in the classroom are using headphones/earbuds, they are able to select the learning option that best works for them. Also, they can work at their own pace without disturbing others around them. In addition, headphones/earbuds allow for a wider range of delivery options.
