My Project

Overview

At my school, we are committed to providing equitable education for all students, including those whose first language is not English.

To enhance our teaching methods and ensure that every student can fully participate and understand the lessons, we seek funding for real-time translation technology.

Objectives

1 - Improve Language Comprehension: Provide real-time translation to help students understand and engage with the curriculum.

2 - Promote Inclusion: Ensure that all students, regardless of their language background, feel included and supported in the classroom.

3 - Enhance Interaction: Facilitate interactive learning by enabling two-way communication between teachers and students.

Needs

Google Pixel Buds A-Series: 31 pairs

Timekettle WT2 Edge/W3 Earbuds: 5 pairs (for interactive sessions)

SYNCO Lavalier Wireless Microphones: 2 sets for the classroom

Budget Breakdown

Google Pixel Buds A-Series: $99 each x 31 = $3,069

Timekettle WT2 Edge/W3 Earbuds: $199 each x 5 = $995

SYNCO Lavalier Wireless Microphones: $150 each x 2 = $300

Total: $4,364

Implementation Plan

Setup and Training: Upon receiving the equipment, we will set up the devices and train teachers on how to use them effectively.

Integration into Lessons: Incorporate real-time translation into daily lessons to ensure all students can follow along and participate.

Ongoing Support: Monitor the effectiveness of the technology and provide ongoing support to teachers and students.

Expected Outcomes

Enhanced Learning: Students will have a better understanding of the curriculum, leading to improved academic performance.

Increased Engagement: Students will feel more involved and motivated in their learning.

Better Communication: Facilitates smoother communication between teachers and students.
