Headphones to Head in the Right Direction!
Funded Sep 30, 2023Thank you so much for supporting this project! Students can now use it during their i-Ready math and i-Ready reading lessons, diagnostics, and ongoing assessments. It cancels out noise so students can focus to perform at their best! The noise cancellation technology in these Sony headphones make a big difference as oppose to not wearing noise cancelling headphones. The distractions are now minimized since they can hear clearly what the instructions, lesson content, and other pertinent lesson information.”

Apple iPad Used for Math Lesson
Funded Sep 23, 2022Thank you so much for this Apple iPad! I use it to take pictures and display student work on google classroom, the Promethean instructional board in the classroom, amongst other functions. Students that forget to bring their own device can borrow this iPad during their math instructional period. Also, students can use it to complete their i-Ready math lesson and/or i-Ready diagnostics, when deemed necessary. I also use it to show small groups youtube educational videos about a certain math topic we are reviewing.”

Headphones to Head in the Right Direction
Funded Sep 29, 2022Thank you so very much! The students can now use the headphones during their math and english diagnostic. In addition, they can use the headphones during their math and english i-Ready lessons. The greatest benefit is the noise cancellation which enhances their focus and concentration. The headphones have held up good so far after multiple use. They are storer in the classroom in a locked closet and used during their i-Ready period. The auxiliary jack allows it to work universally on all devices.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 3 other donors.Mr. Bensetra and Ms. Portillo's Students to Success
Funded Feb 6, 2021The noise-cancellation headphones allows students in class to focus on what they are learning and engaged in, reducing distractions while in-person blended sessions and virtual sessions. The projectors allows me as their teacher to share hand-written notes in a digitized format so students can screenshot it on their device allowing them to save time from copying notes and digitizing their notes for organization and storage purposes. Some student have embraced the noise cancellation headphones and the Bluetooth keyboards, that are synced to their tablets, to allow them to type seamlessly rather then relying on input functions on their screen. Also, they keyboard that comes up on the tablet takes up a greater portion of the screen hindering the content they can see. Thank you again for your support to make a difference in the lives of my students and helping education gear in the direction of a new age of learning.”
