The Power of Silence

Help me give my students each a pair of bluetooth headphones in order for them to be successful in their differentiated learning on iPads.

My Students

I work at a Title I school in Charlotte, NC, where about 90% of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch. We also have a large population of English Language Learners. Regardless of their home life, my students deserve the best. They are eager and excited about learning and always strive for the best.

In order for us to close the achievement gap, my students are in need of resources in order to succeed at school.

These scholars are the future, and I'm excited about being their teacher as they start on their journey of being lifelong learners.

My Project

These individual headphones would help my scholars to focus on their learning while using iPads. When using technology in a classroom it can be hard for my scholars to hear and focus due to the noise from other iPads. With this project each scholar would be able to hear their learning assignments.

Headphones will provide my scholars with a personal experience to be engaged in their learning.

Many of my scholars cannot afford to purchase quality headphones. These durable headphones would make a huge difference in our classroom. Please donate so that my scholars can understand the power of silence!
