Headphones are an essential material needed in a 21st century classroom!\r\n\r\nThe biggest impact that I have noticed with the new headphones in with my MLL students. They are able to work on their language development on different platforms throughout the day. The headphones allow them to listen to English being read proficiently when we are completing different stories. The students are also able to practice their speaking. The headphones with microphones allow the students to speak more clearly because they are not leaning into the computer screen for the built in microphone. This allows the program they are using to better understand what is being said and evaluates their speaking more accurately. \r\n\r\nThe other headphones are being used daily by my regular education students while they are working on their i-Ready reading and math pathways. There are a lot of times in which the program reads to them, so it is beneficial to finally have headphones that work in order for the students to utilize that feature! \r\n\r\nFinally, the cord wraps have been a huge help in keeping all those headphone wires organized and not falling all over the place.","fullyFundedDate":1763420546289,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-for-independent-work/9451682/","projectTitle":"Headphones for Independent Work","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Woynar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1934301_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1539894850286","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jenna-woynar"},{"teacherId":5577616,"projectId":9198998,"letterContent":"The excitement is building as we move towards the Holiday Concert.
