Headphones Help Us Focus
Funded Nov 29, 2023Thank you so very much for choosing to donate to my project. Like a lot of technology, chromebooks don’t age well, and it seems the headphone jack is one of the first things to go. These headphone jack adapters, along with the headphones, will make a huge, positive impact on my students’ ability to focus on digital work. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Caskey

Funded Dec 23, 2020Thank you so very much for generously donating to fund my technology project. My students now have quality headphones with microphones so they can pay better attention to lessons both virtually and in person. The noise-cancelling feature of the headphones has made a huge difference by reducing background noise for my students who are attending school from a daycare as well as for those with multiple siblings at home who are also in virtual school.
The versatility of the iPad and Apple Pencil have greatly enhanced my virtual lessons to keep students engaged. It allows me to make annotations on work when sharing my screen on zoom. I also use it as I would a whiteboard in the classroom during lessons, creating anchor charts, drawings, and sharing examples.
Since mid March, our district transitioned from fully virtual instruction to a hybrid model, with some students returning to the classroom two days a week. I can carry the iPad with me when moving about the classroom to assist in-person students while continuing with lessons, keeping virtual students engaged. I can't imagine teaching virtual and in-person students concurrently without the iPad and Apple Pencil.”
