If we had a classroom set of headphones, students could work on differentiated lessons in reading and writing that would help them learn and practice skills quicker. Students can usually meet with the teacher 2-3 times a week for a small group lesson in my class, but if they had headphones they could have a lesson or more each day. With their technology, I can upload teacher led lessons or practice opportunities and they can self-pace their learning, even on days when they aren’t scheduled to meet with me! This could double or triple their growth this year, which could be life changing.
