Secure technology tools and flexible seating

Help me give my students flexible seating, storage, and headphones for Chromebook use. We need a locking mobile storage unit for our devices. High-quality headsets with microphones will let students listen to and tell stories through voice typing.

My Project

The special education students I serve in my Learning Center have access to excellent educational apps on Chromebooks. These apps are engaging and target their specific instructional levels, so they can work independently to build basic skills. We can work on literacy, writing, and mathematics with these apps.

We need a secure, mobile way to store and charge our devices.

We also need over-ear headsets with microphones so students can listen to text-to-speech or audiobooks as well as dictate writing projects using speech-to-text.

To make learning opportunities productive, we need flexible seating so students can choose the best spot to do their best work.
