My computer lab serves 650 scholars each week. Some are as young as Young Fives (four-five years old), and we go through eighth grade. Our scholars come to me with a wide variety of technology skills: some have never used a computer or a mouse, and others can write complex code or design their own browser extension. With such a wide variety of ability levels, it is important that our computer lab is intentionally designed to be accessible to all learners and with the right level of challenge for every scholar. One of the ways we can do this is by differentiating the lessons within each class. This means that we adapt our lesson in such a way that every scholar has the opportunity to be challenged and every scholar has the opportunity for success. Because of this, scholars within one class may be working on 3-4 different programs depending on need. With many lessons going on at once, it can be distracting to scholars near them if each scholar does not have headphones. With headphones, however, scholars will only hear the volume from their own computer. This allows them to use programs as intended without worrying about being disruptive to other learners on other tasks. I would like to have a class set of durable, break-resistant, quality headphones, so that every computer will have its own pair. These headphones will be sanitized between classes to reduce the risk of transmitting germs between scholars. With this project, I would like to start building toward a class set by procuring 10 sets of headphones for our lab.
