My school has recently implemented a blended learning model and my students spend time every day using research-based computer programs to personalize their learning. These programs meet the students where they are academically, and offer a personalized learning track to help them excel in both math and reading.
In order to utilize the programs effectively, students need quality headphones to not only hear the audio portion of the program but also to block out distractions from students working collaboratively at other centers. Currently, students get very frustrated when they are trying to work hard and focus, but can't do so because of the activity around them. They also spend lots of their time trying to find headphones that actually work, instead of focusing on the program. Through no fault of their own, their learning is disrupted. These headphones will help students to concentrate and keep distractions to a minimum. Having reliable headphones to use on a daily basis will cut down on distractions, and motivate my students to try their best every day to continue to improve.
