The headphones allow students to fully focus and learn at their own pace.\r\n\r\nThey were genuinely excited and grateful. Many students immediately said, \"Now I can really hear!\" and \"This will help me concentrate.\" Seeing their enthusiasm reminded me how much small resources can make a big difference in engagement and learning.\r\n\r\nNext, students will use the headphones to analyze scientific explanations, gather evidence from digital investigations, and prepare written and oral claims using Amplify.
