Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 648

Students had previously struggled in technology class when the use of individual audio was needed. Many of our students did not have the means to purchase their own headphones. It was difficult for students to do research and use video sources since they were unable to listen to their individual computer. Programs such as iReady and videos in Typing club were very hard to comprehend and students would miss much of the information. After acquiring the headphones through the grant, engagement has increased tremendously. I am no able to give assignments with embedded videos and sound. Students have made use of the headphones to the fullest. Videos in Typing club are now clearly audible for students and as a result their typing skills have improved. This has also allowed the use of a tool called immersive reader, which reads text to struggling readers, provides picture definitions, and translates into multiple languages. This is especially helpful for our EL students.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

The goal is to provide each student with a set of headphones a set of headphones to use in the technology lab (40 headphones total).  

 

What will be done with my students

About 90% of our learning in the lab is done with student laptops. This will include many concepts such as word processing, coding, and the use of virtual communication platforms. Much of this involves videos and auditory cues. At this moment students must either use very, very, low volume or try to listen over other student devices. This makes it difficult for students to really capture 100% of instruction. Students will be able to use these easy to use and comfortable headphones with their school provided laptops and classroom I-pads.  

 

Benefits to my students

Durable and easy to use headphones are becoming increasingly important in todays technology-based learning environments. The headphone swill help to enhance learning, focus, and experiences where having clear intelligible sound is necessary. These headphones will allow learners of all type to work in the same environment without having overlapping sounds from other students and their computers. 

 

Budget Narrative

The budget includes 4 sets of headphones (10 included in each set) There are no shipping costs as these will be purchased from Amazon.
