For the last two years, F.AVE students in Señora Souki’s Spanish class have created videos in Spanish that reinforce their writing, speaking, and comprehension; several of which were even entries in the Georgia Student Media Festival representing City Schools of Decatur! But because not every student has their own headphones, it was not possible for everyone to participate in this high-level, engaging project. With funds from a DEF Teacher Innovation Grant, Señora Souki was able to purchase a classroom set of lightweight but durable headphones with a microphone and volume control. Now every Spanish student has a set of headphones that will allow them to learn and practice at the own pace, and create videos for consideration at the next Media Festival.
