This year we were given the opportunity to have a computer cart to share with only one other classroom. These are used to help students familiarize themselves with technology so they can succeed throughout their school careers. I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING! I hear this multiple times when we get the computers out. We only have a few pairs of headphones that are literally falling apart. Even worse, they aren't even the right size for their little heads! So, most students must keep the sound all the way down. Most importantly, like most schools, we do many tests online. Currently, I can only allow 3-4 students to test at once. This is because they must have headphones on for these tests. Some of these tests take up to an hour to do. This means it can take days for my class to complete one test. These headphones would allow the students to ALL be able to test at once so that I can get back to the regular classroom instruction FAST! Some of my students are able to bring headsets to school and some are not. Most of the headsets do not last throughout the year. Adding headsets to my classroom would help free up expenses for my parents. School lists are costly for parents, especially if they have more than one child.
