Your support for the project \"A QBall Microphone for Musical Discussions.\" has enhanced how my students engage in musical discussions and critical discourse.\r\n\r\nClass discussions are often a challenge. Voices from our quieter students were frequently lost, and the conversation was typically dominated by a few louder voices. We were missing out on valuable insights from many students.\r\n\r\nThe QBall instantly transformed this dynamic. Its tossable design makes the simple act of speaking fun and inclusive, and the crystal-clear audio ensures that when a student speaks, every classmate can hear them, no matter where they are sitting. This piece of technology has truly become a powerful equalizer in our room.\r\n\r\nI've seen a remarkable boost in participation. For instance, during a music history lesson, students who had never offered an unsolicited comment eagerly caught the microphone to share their ideas. The QBall empowers every student.\r\n\r\nYour gift is a direct investment in student confidence and critical thinking. You've helped us build a more equitable, engaging, and lively learning space where every student feels their contributions are valuable and deserve to be heard.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your incredible kindness and support of public education.","fullyFundedDate":1755537917184,"projectUrl":"project/a-qball-microphone-for-musical-discussio/9485973/","projectTitle":"A QBall Microphone for Musical Discussions.","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Royer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7764295_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y602&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690569979470","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7764295"},{"teacherId":8173476,"projectId":9144968,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to you for making the music possible.

We then practiced communicating with each other using only nonverbal communication! \r\n\r\nStudents enjoy checking books out from the library and sharing with their friends.
