Quality Matters!

Help me give my students headphones that are adequate for testing and educational online apps.

My Project

The students are required to use headphones for several activities. Many of the headphones given by the school are of poor quality. These new headphones will provide better quality. Students sometimes reluctantly use the current headphones due to the consistently poor quality they provide. This has effected some of my students' motivation and caused them to put forth less effort in producing work at their highest potential.

Our class will use these headphones for educational purposes.

We use them for assessments and classroom assignments. The state test (M-STEP), district test (i-Ready}, and some class assessments require students to use headphones. Additionally, classroom assignments and online apps require the use of headphones. Students use headphones daily for apps like i-Ready and Myon. Both of these apps increase students reading comprehension and vocabulary skills. The use of high-quality headphones for assessments and classroom assignments will help motivate my students to work at their highest potential
