Total $726.90
Instructional Use
My school has been determined to integrate technology into each classroom
and recently became a 1-to-1 school. This means that each student at my school
has their own iPad/Chromebook (depending on grade-level) assigned to them.
These headphones will be used for various purposes. When my students are
working independently on their Chromebooks, they will be able to use these
headphones to watch educational videos, listen to virtual instruction, etc., without
distracting other students. These headphones will also be used when my students
complete digital assignments that require a microphone to amplify their voices.
These types of assignments include: creating videos, tutorials, podcasts, or digital
stories. These headphones can also help with assignments, such as the Longitude
and Latitude lesson that my students will complete.
Benefit to Students
As previously mentioned, there are many ways in which students will benefit
from these headphones. They can work comfortably and efficiently on their
computers, without worrying about distracting peers (and without getting distracted
themselves), and they can produce work that clearly amplifies their voice with the
built-in microphone technology. Lastly, these headphones can be used simply as a
tool to help certain students focus. In past years, I have had students who have
benefitted from having headphones on, even when the headphones were not
attached to anything else. Simply wearing the headphones helped students tune
out distractions around them, allowing them to focus on their learning, which is an
added bonus to these headphones, which is also an applicable modification to assist
my students with special needs.
Level of Use of the Technology
The level of use of these headphones will really vary from day to day,
depending on the lessons and activities completed, as well as the individualized
needs of my students. They can be used for all subject areas, as I try to integrate
technology into each subject. These headphones will allow my students to use their
Chromebooks more effectively and efficiently.
