We have used them several times already since we got them. We just finished state testing, and every student was able to use a pair of comfortable headphones for their tests. \r\n\r\nMy students are currently working on a big final project in which they are using the headphones. They are working in pairs to research a problem within our community and possible ways to help be a part of the solution and improve the community. In the photo submitted they are working reviewing other PSAs and preparing to create their own. Then they present their PSAs to younger students. \r\n\r\nHaving these headphones has allowed each pair to research videos on without disturbing the other around them. It means that I can give them more autonomy in their research rather than just showing videos of my choosing to the whole class.","fullyFundedDate":1769178236677,"projectUrl":"project/the-better-to-hear/10001151/","projectTitle":"The Better to Hear...","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Grove","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8366989_orig.jpg?crop=1935,1935,x635,y655&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1646959100930","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8366989"},{"teacherId":6218011,"projectId":9108637,"letterContent":"I hope this message finds you well.
