My Project

Technology has become an important part of student learning. Each day my first grade students engage in math and literacy learning on their school laptop computers. My goal for this project is to provide a way for my students to be more engaged in their learning and therefore see a rise in their achievement as they work on their math and reading skills. The hanging storage organizer will keep their headphones organized and ready to use.

New headphones will help my students engage in the content more readily by providing them with the ability to listen and focus without being distracted by or being distracting to others around them.
