My Project

My students will use these headphones when using tablets or laptops. We need these because, of course, these pieces of technology make noise and can become very distracting. The ink will be used to enchance students instruction and provide better visiual aid for complex concepts.

This will improve my classroom environment and our small group learning communities.

It will also help the other students in the room that are not using technology at the time to be able to concentrate on the task that they are working on.

My students will be very excited to have this project funded.
