Mr. Summers from Richmond UT is requesting instructional technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

The Ticket to Voice Typing

Help me give my students these headphones with noise cancelling microphones. It gives my students with limited fine motor skills the opportunity to "write" without typing excellent essays like their peers through the use of voice typing.

My Students

My students have mild or moderate disabilities and often struggle to maintain all of the information that they need in working memory. They often require voice typing in order to complete written work. My current headphones with microphones are breaking and I do not have enough to accommodate my classroom.

My Project

When I teach students with mild and moderate disabilities, they often struggle to manage the cognitive load of maintaining their thoughts, typing, and reading from a graphic organizer simultaneously. When one considers that many of them lack typing proficiency, it makes writing even more intimidating and seemingly impossible. With the use of headphone with microphones, my students can practice the writing concepts that I teach them without the hinderance of these additional factors and can therefore access the same curriculum and their regular education peers. Chromebooks allow for voice typing, but chromebooks do not have background noise cancelling technology and presents a significant challenge when multiple students are trying to complete their work simultaneously. Headphones are the one additional piece of equipment that we need to give these students a feeling of success without all of the frustration.
