We are fortunate to be a 1:1 school district and each student is given their own Chromebook. This is an amazing learning and teaching tool. Across the sixth grade, teachers use apps and programs that allow text to speech. Many teachers embed read alouds into presentations, so that students can hear the text read in a familiar voice. We use apps that let students show their comprehension in a variety of forms, including oral recordings, podcasts, and videos.
To access these amazing resources, students need headphones with microphones. While the school supplies books, they do not supply headphones. Our supply list asks students to have earbuds tucked into their pencil cases, but the majority of my students cannot afford headphones or earbuds. Even if they were able to afford a pair in September, by January they are broken or lost. Having a set of headphones in the classroom would allow my students to have the same opportunities as their peers who can afford headphones. Let's be honest, these children need the opportunity to listen to language as often as possible.
