Extending Your Reach: 1. Booster Activities
1Booster Activities
Beyond the Classroom
Booster activities are opportunities to reinforce the learning that occurred during the Dangerous Decibels Program delivery. Our experience and research studies have demonstrated that booster activities will help sustain and further improve the positive changes in knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors over time.
Booster activities can be planned to follow in a month or two after delivery of the interactive Dangerous Decibels program in order to facilitate the booster effect on student learning outcomes.
Dangerous Decibels has developed three activities that can be used as boosters for students:
dBZone!: interactive online activities that demonstrate and reinforce Dangerous Decibels concepts
Jolene: an educational mannequin designed to measure the sound levels of personal music systems.
Song of the Starbird: an online game for 4th-5th graders that engages the student in game activities to promote hearing health and STEM learning.
We’d like to briefly introduce you to each of these in case you are interested in including them in your hearing loss prevention efforts.
