Instead of trying to follow videos over background noise, each student can now focus, listen carefully, and work through the Edpuzzle questions at their own pace. The first time we used them, the room became instantly calm and focused, and several students said they finally understood the video because they could actually hear every part. Because of this, my students were very excited for the activities to come. \r\n\r\nAs already stated, these headphones have especially helped during our Edpuzzle-based lessons, which we use to reinforce key biology concepts. Students replay explanations, pause when they need more time, and rewatch challenging sections independently without feeling rushed. With the help of the headphones, engagement is higher, scores have improved, and students are genuinely more invested in their learning.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, we will continue using these headphones for Edpuzzles, virtual labs, science videos, and review activities as we move through our upcoming units. Your support has created a more focused, equitable, and engaging learning environment, and my students feel truly supported because of you.

The training robot has become an essential part of our PE classes and our after-school table tennis club, giving students opportunities to practice in ways that were not possible before.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the robot in action, they were amazed. It immediately drew their attention and excitement. The robot allows us to customize drills by adjusting ball placement, speed, and spin, which has made our practice sessions much more efficient and purposeful.\r\n\r\nAs a coach, this resource has made a tremendous difference. Instead of standing across the table feeding balls manually, I can now stand next to the student, observing their technique more closely and offering real-time adjustments. The robot delivers balls accurately and consistently, so students can focus on improving their form, timing, and footwork rather than retrieving balls after every mistake. This has helped students stay engaged and more devoted to their progress.\r\n\r\nThe robot also allows me to work with more students at once. I can set up a one- to two-minute drill for a student and then rotate them, while others practice footwork and stroke imitation behind the table. This flow has improved the structure of practice and has allowed every student to stay active and learning.\r\n\r\nWe have already begun incorporating the robot into one PE class, and students are truly enjoying it. Our next steps are to expand this approach to additional PE classes and to build a more structured table tennis curriculum in our school. The robot has not only strengthened skill development—it has also attracted more students, sparked curiosity, and helped build a fun, positive environment around physical activity.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made this possible. Thank you for helping us create a program that supports healthy movement, coordination, confidence, and community for our students.","fullyFundedDate":1746787424583,"projectUrl":"project/promoting-table-tennis-in-our-school-wit/9252296/","projectTitle":"Promoting Table Tennis in Our School with a Training Robot","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lantsman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6835880_orig.jpg?crop=620,620,x0,y159&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745867052183","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6835880"},{"teacherId":3113169,"projectId":9374353,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for all of your support!
