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"},{"teacherId":4742646,"projectId":8501061,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our classroom! With your support, we were able to bring a color printer into our math space, and it's already made a remarkable difference in how students engage with learning. Many of our math projects involve visuals—charts, graphs, math games, and interactive activities—and now students can see their work and resources come to life in vibrant color. This simple tool has transformed our ability to provide high-quality, accessible materials that support all types of learners, especially our multilingual and visual learners. Whether it's printing individualized graphic organizers, color-coded math mazes, or student-created data displays, the impact has been immediate and powerful.\r\n\r\nOur students are especially excited about using the printer to showcase their own creations. They're designing posters, data-driven infographics, and colored stickers. One student even commented, \"It feels like our work actually matters when we get to print it out and see it looking professional.\" Several students who previously struggled to engage have been energized by the opportunity to use color in their work—especially those who love art and design. Your donation helped create a space where math feels more accessible, creative, and personal. We are so grateful for your support in helping our students see themselves as capable, innovative mathematicians.","fullyFundedDate":1726554491896,"projectUrl":"project/math-in-color/8501061/","projectTitle":"Math in Color!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Boian","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4742646_orig.jpg?crop=1200,1200,x0,y308&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1684867631384","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4742646"}],"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","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"21.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.3,"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"}
