February 5, 2016 Winner of ENC-CCV Stereo Budget Headphones


This week’s winner is Vaughn Stukes, Teacher at KIPP Jacksonville Schools.

Vaughn says:

KIPP Jacksonville Schools is a regional group of schools that serves students grades K-8. We are located in Jacksonville’s Urban Core. We currently implement a 1 to 1 model for our students with technology. Our flexibility as a public charter school allows us to incorporate unconventional teaching methods. We allow students to use interactive media and programs to enhance their learning experience at KIPP Jacksonville using chromebooks and iPads. The ENC-CCV model headset will be a great model that students could use during standardized testing. The simple added comfort would add tremendous value to the student testing experience. When students learn and test well, it makes it that much easier for our school to attract support, funding, and competitive talent to help shape the minds and introduce opportunity to every KIPPster and the community we serve. Winning this prize would help us with our goal of working with each student to and through college.

Congratulations, Vaughn!

This week’s winner is Lisa Wenzel, Technology Teacher at Running Brook Elementary School.

Lisa says:

Chew proof headphones should be the innovative solution of the year!  I have tried everyone to solve the problem!  The last attempt was to give everyone a fidget and hope that that would keep them occupied (and not needing to chew on cords) My kids have puppy behaviors when it comes to needing to chew on things!  Thanks for your solution!

Congratulations, Lisa!
