My Project

The use of headphone is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in Science. I will use these headphones as incentives for the students who show gain in Test Scores. By having some of the items , students will be more engaged with increasing test scores. Some of our students come from home where they often lack food and other resources.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not. Plus in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
