Using the regular headphones, it was difficult for them to record their voice to explain their answers for activities, record voice when adding their writing to their Seesaw journal and when responding to different apps we use in literacy. \r\n\r\nUsing the headphones with microphones has significantly changed the way students record their voices. It is easier for me to understand them and best of all there is no background noise of other students recording at the same time. Sometimes when I listen to the students' repsonses, I hear so much background noise and my own voice assisting other that is impossible to understand what the student is saying. Now, I can hear the students clearly and again with no background noise or voices.","fullyFundedDate":1729171496167,"projectUrl":"project/no-background-noise/8867766/","projectTitle":"No Background Noise","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wise","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8633794"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3200","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":377,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":28,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":14,"percentWhite":54,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":77.8,"schoolId":3200,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mary Scroggs Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mary Scroggs Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/chapel-hill-carrboro-city-sd/mary-scroggs-elementary-school/3200"}
