My Project

I am looking to add comfortable headphones for my classroom. One of the major benefits of school headphones is that they can be used to cancel out any background noise completely and focus on the information that is important. An example of when this could be effective is during reading time. Rather than reading out loud, children can use classroom headphones to listen to an audiobook. This can be paired with visuals and images provided by the teacher. Learning like this may allow children to focus more easily on the story and ensure that they do absorb information. We also need to be able to access online programs with verbal cues without being distracting to others!
