Why you Should Be Using Headphones in the Classroom?

Headphones can be beneficial in the classroom, computer room, or library. They keep the noise level down and allow students to individually focus on the lesson and the instructor’s voice. In the library or computer room, students can watch educational videos or listen to audiobooks while following along. By eliminating outside distractions the students have an easier time devoting their energy to comprehending what they are hearing. For some even having the teachers speak into a mic that goes to the headphone can allow students to hear the teacher more clearly. This is especially great for those students who are easily overstimulated by a noisy classroom. They can listen at a volume that is comfortable and safe for them and remove the excess noise.

If you want to implement headphones into your classroom or library, here are some headphones we recommend!

What is an endpoint?

Have you heard of endpoint protection, but are not really sure what it is or why you need it?

“Endpoint security isĀ the process of protecting devices like desktops, laptops, mobile phones, and tablets from malicious threats and cyberattacks” according to Fortinet. So obviously this is very important when working for any company that uses devices for work or communicating with coworkers or students. Cyber attacks usually happen via endpoints and can then infiltrate the whole networks that the endpoints are connected to.

The most common types of cyber-attacks are phishing attacks, ransomware, password attacks, and many more. Check out our blog post on how to recognize phishing attacks. There are many ways for Cybercriminals to infiltrate your device. Using endpoint protection software gives an added layer of protection for your network.

What do Different Colors mean?

Each color has a meaning or feeling associated with it. If you teach art or any creative subject, teaching your students how to tell a story and create a feeling in their work through colors is so powerful.

This knowledge can be put to use when creating web pages, advertising, marketing, and traditional artwork. Adobe has a great article about what each color means and the feelings they can invoke. Check it out here! And use the color palette generator from Adobe to try creating your own color palette! This could be a great art exercise for your students to pick a feeling and create a color palette to match it!
