This will allow my students to individually watch tutorial videos in class whenever they need to. That is not possible now because we only have three pairs of headphones in my room. When a student does poorly on their classwork or needs to review for a test, they can get a classroom laptop and plug the headphones into the computer. Many of my students have no Internet at home or anything that they can watch the videos with. This pushes them further behind their peers. Most of my students have no help at home or the means to watch my tutorial videos. They are making progress in their reading comprehension and math conceptual understanding, but they could really use any help they could get.
