My Project

Our headphones have seen a lot of damage, and it is only September. These few pairs that I have are falling apart, and are difficult to organize.

These supplies will allow my students to have well organized materials to assist in their technology integrated lessons.

We use many adaptive softwares to support individualized student learning. Every student is different, and this technology meets them where they are to encourage their growth.

These headphones and this organizer will greatly improve the quality of our technology time, and will help maintain the quality of our materials.
