Yay! My WhisperPhones have arrived! I shared with my class today what they were and how we are going to use them in class and they are just as excited as I am!
Before I can use them, however, I need to label them and put them into individual Ziplocs. I don't like the idea of the students sharing them because of sanitary reasons, so I requested enough for all students (plus a few extra to allow for new students and possible breakage). I hope to have them ready for next week.
The next step in the process is to create a Thank-You package to send back to Donors Choose. If you are not familiar with this, once a teacher's project is funded, the materials are shipped to the classroom. Once the materials are received, the teacher has about a month to create the package. This basically consists of pictures of the students using the requested materials along with a few thank-you letters written by the students. I think it's the website's way of making sure people aren't just taking materials. Whatever the reasoning, I will be using the website again.
Anyhow, I'm excited, the children are excited, and we're ready to roll!
