Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In today's classrooms, there are often more online learning programs than computers. It can be noisy and distracting to students to listen to audio speakers when there are multiple computers in the classroom. Headphones help the student focus on their assignments and assessments not other student's assignments.

Headphones create quieter classrooms for better learning.

My ELL students are required to take monthly assessments online in reading and in math. Headphones are needed for individualized testing. The audio component is so important when testing, especially for ELL students. It helps learners to comprehend the basic concepts better with the help of audio assistants.
