My students were so surprised to learn that someone had gifted them with such an amazing piece of technology. Resources can be quite scarce at Title 1 schools so we are truly thankful to receive this support.\r\n\r\nThese microphones have really impacted the engagement of the students. The podcasts were at first something the students thought of as weird, unfamiliar and something to stay away from. The low-quality Shein microphones that barely allowed students to hear themselves didn't help.\r\n\r\nHowever, with the introduction of proper equipment, there was an increase in the quality of the recordings, the ease of editing and the overall experience of joy and enthusiasm surrounding the project. This quarter, we recorded a total of 12 podcasts! Some students felt so confident, they even invited guest hosts such as teachers to appear on their shows. \r\n\r\nThank you again for sponsoring this project.
