Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 1000

With this grant every teacher in the science department was given 6 headphone splitters and a class set of earbuds! Now students can work in pairs, small groups, or by themselves! This made it possible for multiple activities to go on within one classroom. Also, students were able to work at their own pace without the distraction of other students computers or devices!

 

Original Grant Overview

Goal

To enable students to work at their own pace or in collaborative groups without being distracted by others. 

 

What will be done with my students

Every Teacher in the Science department would receive six headphone splitters and extra earbuds for students who do not have their own.

Technology is a huge part of our departments content delivery. We use flipped videos, have the students create audio and videos to explain their understanding, etc. By allowing every student to use earbuds, and having the headphone splitters available, students will be able to work at their own pace when watching flipped videos, they'll be able to share technology, work in collaborative groups, and create presentations without being distracted by the background noise of other students who are also using technology with sound. 

 

Benefits to my students

Students can work at their own pace.
Students can work in collaborative groups.
Students will not be distracted by background noise from other students or devices.
