It will help students stay focused, while using visual learning modality. Students will not be distracted by their peers audio learning. At times students can become frustrated, and overwhelmed from multiple directions being given at one time. Each student has an individual learning starting point. We use technology to address each students level, and monitor student growth. Having headphones,ensures students will only focus on the prompts indicated for them. These students struggle on a daily basis to stay focused, and excited about learning. Using technology as a engaging tool helps them feel enthusiastic about learning. Your help with this project is greatly appreciated.
