Many of our donors use technology at home but may not fully appreciate its impact in an educational setting. These headphones enable students to concentrate better, particularly during individual reading and digital lessons, leading to improved comprehension and retention. What excites my students most is the sense of ownership and personal space the headphones provide. They enjoy having their own dedicated listening environment, which not only enhances their focus but also makes them feel more connected to the learning process. Several students with auditory sensitivities have especially benefited from this technology, as it minimizes distractions and allows them to engage more confidently in activities that were previously overwhelming. Overall, the headphones have fostered a more inclusive and effective learning environment for all my students.","fullyFundedDate":1735232441136,"projectUrl":"project/tune-into-learning-headphones-for-and-e/8976564/","projectTitle":"Tune Into Learning: Headphones for and Engaged Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Newnam","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8806330_orig.jpg?crop=3052,3052,x357,y933&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1666216411320","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8806330"},{"teacherId":9102050,"projectId":8890758,"letterContent":"The donations for my project, Rolling Toward Fitness: Funding Scooters for Active Learning, have truly been incredible!
