Because our school does not allow Bluetooth headphones, having a dedicated set that stays in my room helps all of my students access audio and visual content. \r\nThanks to your generosity, students are now able to use their Chromebooks to fully engage with multimedia resources. They listen to audiobook versions of our novels, listen to author interviews to gain background knowledge, and participate in audio-based scavenger hunts and interactive activities. These tools bring learning to life in ways that print alone simply cannot.\r\nThe headphones help create a more focused and respectful learning environment. Students are able to listen to music while writing without distracting others. This improves their concentration and work completion and enjoyment.\r\nMost importantly, your donation transforms technology from a source of distraction into a tool to engage with literature, multiple forms experiencing writing and media, and the world . With their own headphones to use in class, students experience online videos and audio productions that introduce them to new perspectives, ideas, and life skills. It reminds them that digital media can be a powerful tool for learning and connection.\r\nYour generosity directly supports engagement, focus, and opportunity for every student who walks into my classroom. Thank you for believing in our students and investing in their success.","fullyFundedDate":1765991696310,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-class-set/9688293/","projectTitle":"Headphones Class Set","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Harnitchek","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10243931_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y88&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757092358663","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-harnitchek"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_106850","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":804,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":52,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":32,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":55,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":7,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"21.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.7,"schoolId":106850,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Vista Innovation Design Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Vista Innovation Design Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/vista-unified-school-district/vista-innovation-design-academy-open-8-2014-/106850"}
