Shhh... Do Not Disturb!

Help me give my students headphones that will make learning from home distraction-free. I have witnessed my students try to participate in virtual class and all the noise from siblings, pets, and caregivers is distracting!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I just met my new students and one thing they have let me know is that they LOVE learning. Whether it be Math, Science, Reading, and/or Art, they are all in! Some are loving the virtual situation and others, not so much.

My students are all doing the best they can and they have realized that distance learning is not easy, but they have accepted the challenge.

They know that they have to stay organized and distraction-free during our lessons. They know there is a schedule we must stick to. Most of all, they know school is not just for learning content, it is where they will learn to be responsible, empathic, and resilient.

My Project

Learning from home is not easy when there are multiple distractions. Minimizing distractions is what I hope to do with the headphones. They will provide my students with a much needed quiet work area at home. My students will be online for a minimum of 240 minutes a day and each minute is a minute lost if students can't concentrate.

Providing my students with headphones will allow for smoother discussions, more participation, and increased concentration.

This is that one small tool all students need to have the greatest learning outcomes in these times of distance learning.
