My Project

Recently, technology has become a vital component of elementary education. Students learn not only how to navigate the digital landscape, but they also utilize technology to gain deeper access to educational materials. Having adequate technology and the accompanying accessories is necessary for students to be successful in this learning.

I am asking for headphones because with comfortable, high quality headphones, all learners are able to get the most out of technology based learning and exploration.

Technology in general, and headphones more specifically, increases accessibility for students to explore content as well as demonstrate and communicate their learning. These headphones will be beneficial for project-based learning in addition to differentiated tasks in mathematics.
