When our students were told that they had to learn from home last spring, many were left without the proper tools. Though we have been able to secure devices for those who need them, many are still without the lesser but also very important smaller items that make learning from home safe and comfortable. Blue light glasses will allow our students who will be required to complete 5 classes a day online (withOUT textbooks this time) some protection from the eyestrain and headaches that come with that much screen time. Earbuds with microphones will also allow our students to "attend" their classes without disturbing family members who will also be learning and/ or working from home.
