Before receiving these tools, many students struggled with the limitations of the Chromebook trackpad, which often slowed their work and caused unnecessary frustration. Having access to reliable computer mice has allowed students to navigate digital platforms with ease, improving both their confidence and their ability to complete assignments efficiently.\r\n\r\nComputer mice have proven especially important during activities that require precision, such as interactive lessons, digital drawing, and online assessments. Instead of battling the trackpad, students can now move quickly and accurately through their virtual learning environments. This simple upgrade has resulted in smoother lessons, fewer technical interruptions, and more meaningful engagement with digital content.\r\n\r\nHeadphones have also made a major impact on our classroom. Many of my students enjoy listening to audiobooks, and having individual headphones allows them to immerse themselves in stories without distracting their peers. Additionally, headphones help students focus during online learning tasks, language activities, and independent work time. Together, the mice and headphones have created a more accessible, efficient, and student-centered learning environment—one where every child has the tools they need to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1755279046007,"projectUrl":"project/make-my-chromebook-sing/9582187/","projectTitle":"Make my Chromebook Sing","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Schnurr","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/paul-schnurr"},{"teacherId":5893836,"projectId":9120435,"letterContent":"This has been the most spectacular project and has completely changed the last two months for us.
