Prepairing for Success

Help me give my students consistency with headphones that work. Corded headphones break easily and parents often can't afford to replace them. Cord-free headphones will also allow my students the freedom to work without distractions.

My Project

Headphones are a necessary part of education, ensuring students can use technology at their own pace without distracting one another. Cords often distract my young learners, as they play with them and accidentally unplug them. We have had many plugs break off in the jack as well!

With bluetooth headphones, students will be able to better focus on what they are learning!

Many of my students struggle with focusing on their learning. Bluetooth headphones would help block out distractions. I have some students who are unable to sit still for long periods of time, so wireless headphones would allow them to be on the move while still learning. Whether it be working on academics, or taking a brain break, these headphones would be invaluable to my classroom!
