My Project

I have an amazing group of 5th grade students. They are hardworking, enthusiastic learners. Sometimes that enthusiasm creates a very loud classroom as our students use their computers to do research and work on various educational websites.

Listening clearly to books read to them and having the ability to record their voices reading will help them progress in their reading ability.

This will also help me identify specific needs that the students may have while I listen to the recordings they send me in class.Technology in the classroom is an invaluable tool and we would like to use it to its full capability with a class set of headphones.
