  • No More Background Noise

    Funded May 5, 2021

    I want to thank you for making the transition to online teaching a little easier. Although we have begun our in-person classes, there are many instances where students have to work from home. Having a microphone has made a big difference in being able to deliver clear audio lessons to my students at home.

    With a click of a button, this microphone has allowed me to mute most of the background noise while in class and clearly communicate with my students who are home quarantined. My students have been able to verify how much of a difference it makes to mute or bring down the background noise and allow individualized attention when needed.”

Every year I get a new group of students who come with so many ideas, questions, and life experiences that make teaching a rewarding expereince. All of them come to my class looking forward to the multitude of projects and hands-on activities that an interactive science class provides. This year is no exception but we are facing some limitation due to insufficient materials. With your support, I will continue to provide students the tools needed to become critical thinkers.
