The tactile engagement offers a mild sensory outlet, which can improve concentration and reduce test anxiety—especially for students with ADHD or similar needs.\r\n\r\nTimers and privacy screens help students manage their time effectively during an exam. They reduce the cognitive load of constantly checking the clock, help break tasks into manageable chunks, and can ease anxiety by giving clear time boundaries, particularly useful for students with executive function challenges.\r\n\r\nMice improve precision and reduce hand fatigue during long testing sessions. This is especially useful for navigating complicated testing platforms, dragging/dropping answers, or working on math/graphing problems.","fullyFundedDate":1738166923322,"projectUrl":"project/technology-test-taking-tools/9050522/","projectTitle":"Technology Test-Taking Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Baumann","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7377074_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726110989731","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/baumann"},{"teacherId":7377074,"projectId":8823771,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your generous donation of batteries for our middle school science class.
