July 12, 2016 Winner of Soundnetic SN501 Headsets


This week’s winner is Lorie Jessup of Plank Junior High School.

Lorie says:

The Plank LRC is open for all the almost 850 students to come and work in our adjoining 4 computer labs as well as the computers within the LRC. Many of our teachers are having their students create multimedia projects which include recording their voice, so the Encore Soundnetic SN501 headsets with the microphones will work wonderfully for those projects. Teachers are doing green screen video casts as well as podcasts where students are using creative and critical thinking skills.There never seems to be enough microphones to go around, so having these additional sets will certainly help! Thank you!

Congratulations Lorie!

April 15, 2016 Winner of AVID AE-36 Headsets


This week’s winner is Patty Cram, IAC Teacher at Sylvester Middle School.

Patty says:

I teach in an inclusive special ed., higher functioning classroom that utilizes many different learning websites and programs. When I first entered this contest my classroom was using 5 computer with 5 different and rather old headphones, some of which would short out occasionally. Having already replaced those with some basic headphones, these will give my students the ability to use the microphones when needed. They will give them access to even more learning tools available. THANK YOU!!!

Congratulations, Patty!

March 4, 2016 Winner of ENC-CCV Stereo Headphones with Volume Control


This week’s winner is Shara Eisenberg, Teacher at Blue Mountain Elementary School.

Shara says:

As I am sure you know, there are a multitude of fabulous educational resources on the internet, and we are fortunate enough as a building to have Chromebooks that our class can check out. Our biggest problem is that we only have a couple of pairs of headphones! It does not work well when all of the students are on a site where they need to be able hear something being played. We just ran into this problem last week while trying to use a financial literacy website called EverFi. I am excited to share the news with my teammates that now in 3rd grade we have a class set of headphones. Thank you so much!

Congratulations, Shara!

February 19, 2016 Winner of ENC-CCV Stereo Budget Headphones with Leatherette Earpads and Volume Control


This week’s winner is Alan Grenon, Librarian at Sylvester Middle School.

Alan says:

Headphones often break down, and we can’t replace them as quickly as we’d like. These new headphones will complete a set for one of our computer lab’s. This will allow students to listen to e-books as they read them, work with language learning programs, or hear the audio components of video materials when they are conducting research, all without unnecessarily disturbing their neighbors.

Congratulations, Alan!
