My Project

It can be difficult to stay focused on the task at hand. But what if there was a way for students to have their own personalized learning environment! School classrooms can be a noisy place. We want the students to have the greatest learning experience.

Headphones could be key to achieving that goal.

There are many benefits of using headphones for elementary school students and how it can positively impact their education. A headphone can minimize chatter and arguments, increase focus and concentration and keep students on task.

By providing a way to block out those distractions and focus on the task at hand.

Whether it's watching a math video or listening to the question that is asked, headphones can help kids stay focused and engaged in what they're doing. When they're able to pay attention and learn more effectively, everyone benefits.

We will also use the headphones when we use Edpuzzle, iReady and IXL. Wearing headphones can also encourage kids to be more independent learners. If they feel like they have some control over what they’re doing and how they’re learning, they may be more likely to take initiative and be engaged in their own education. Using headphones can ensure that kids get a fantastic experience every day they are in class.
