With fewer distractions, students are more confident, engaged, and able to concentrate on building fluency and comprehension. The headphones are also being used for recording student learning videos, including Genius Hour projects, allowing students to clearly explain their thinking without background noise. This support has made a meaningful difference in creating a calm, focused learning environment where every child can do their best.
