My Students

My students are from a several small communities on the outskirts of the Oklahoma City Public School District. Our students went through many transitions this year. Two of our four local elementary schools were closed. Our newly formed 2nd and 3rd grade school is compromised of students from the four schools. With all these changes students started the school year enthusiastic about learning.

Students came together to create a new community of learners.

Due to early school closures our 3rd grades students didn’t get a full year with us before they go on to the next school. They stayed determined and enrolled in summer school. The majority of the students are using borrowed technology to participate. Students would greatly benefit from additional technology resources.

My Project

The students enrolled in summer school took the initiative to continue learning during their break. Students are using borrowed technology to complete class safely from their homes. While this is a great opportunity for students it is not without challenges. Students would benefit from headphones with a microphone.

Headphones will help students clearly hear instruction, audibly partake in discussion and aide to lessen the background noise from an active home.

The transition of a home to the classroom is a new experience. Headphones will help to make this change more engaging, comfortable and focused.
