In our classroom, we are always having group discussions, whether it be about ideas, conclusions, explanations, reading out loud and analyzing text, or just in our morning meetings. Many times, these students have great things to share during discussions but are held back because they speak to low. Other students get lost because they are not engaged and get distracted easily. The QBall will give my students the volume they need to share their ideas and also give my students who have a hard time focusing, the engagement they need to stay on task and participate. I can see the whole class being actively engaged in having fun, all while learning! It's the best of both worlds! I am so excited to use this fun microphone with my students. I can think of hundreds of ways to implement this in every aspect of my lessons. I know they will be excited to be able to share their ideas and build their confidence. By donating to our project, you will help improve and increase student attention, increase their academic achievement, and help these students experience how fun learning can be!
