My Project

Headphones have become a necessity in my room as we shift into using more technology. While we have some headphones, they are not stored for easy access and they break often.

I would like to add headphone storage, as well as a set of earbuds for each student, in order to give every student access to headphones quickly and efficiently.

The saved time means more time on task for whatever we are learning at the time. My students have been making great gains in filling the gaps in their learning. The headphones and storage are going to allow them to get even farther ahead!
