As an educator navigating the new field of virtual learning, I have begun creating dozens of art video tutorials which I post online to our schools' learning management system. Often, when a student has been absent for an extended period of time or needs a review on basic techniques, steps and procedures, I will refer them to the video tutorials I have created as a means to help support their learning. In classes of thirty or more students, it can often be hard for these students to hear what the teacher is saying in the videos, especially when watching the videos in class and on their Chromebooks or on our classroom set of iPads. The noise level of a typical art classroom tends to be moderate as students are often working together on projects and moving about the classroom gathering supplies and cleaning. Being able to listen to the content, as well as see the demonstrations and examples in the video tutorials, is essential to learning about the concepts being taught. If I had a class set of thirty headphones for my art students to use, they would be able to listen to the video tutorials which would make it easier for them to access the content I have created without the distraction of the noise in the classroom. There are also times when my art students need to do research by participating in virtual tours of online art museums and websites. Having access to a set of headphones would help them to be more immersed in the experience. The headphones would also provide opportunities for my students to listen to the pronunciation of important art vocabulary. This, in turn, would assist my ELL's and my SPED students in particular, who may need that extra language support in my classroom.
