With 1:1 iPads, our students rely on headphones to fully engage with the many educational resources available to them. Your donation is making a real difference in their learning experience, and we are so grateful.\r\n\r\nThe headphones play a vital role in several key areas of student learning. One of the apps we use allows us to create instructional videos and read content aloud to students. With each student having their own headphones, our classroom remains quiet and focused, allowing students to work independently without distractions. This also makes learning more accessible for students who may struggle with reading or are new to English. For example, recording word problems or grammar exercises allows students to access content at their own pace, providing crucial support to those who need it most.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the headphones enable students to access individualized learning resources. Our district's curriculum includes adaptive reading and math websites that adjust to each student's unique needs. These gamified activities focus on the specific skills each student needs to work on, and by using headphones, students can focus on their tasks while we work with small groups on targeted skills.\r\n\r\nOur first graders were especially excited to recognize that, thanks to your donation, they can use their iPads without disturbing their classmates.
