HOW TO STORE EARPHONES on the wall

Using up wall space for storage is a helpful way to save space in a small classroom. Store your classroom earphones on your wall using either peg hooks, cap racks, or wall hooks.

Line them up on a horizontal peg rack: Earphones can be hung from wall mounted peg racks. Install the racks under your whiteboard where you students can easily reach them. This neat arrangement looks amazing and it utilizes of unused space.

Store headphones in an over the door cap rack: This rack is for storing caps but it works perfectly for storing headphones. It can hang from your classroom door or wall.

Hang headphones with individual cap racks: I can picture these cap rack hooks mounted on a large corkboard so that you don’t have to drill holes for each hook. The dome shapes are perfect for storing headphones by their bands on the wall. The white ones are better because they are wide enough for headphones with thick head bands. The black ones are for thin headphone bands.

Use magnetic hooks on a whiteboard or metal wall plate: Store your headphones on your wall with magnetic hooks. Headphones with thin bands will fit these hooks.

Store Headphones on Magnetic surfaces

Magnetic hooks and ties can be used to store headphones on magnetic surfaces in the classroom such as on filing cabinets, metal cabinets, lockers, whiteboards, or metal class doors.

If you want to store your classroom earphones in pocket charts, you can hang the pocket charts on your classroom cupboard doors or over a classroom door.

Use a deep pocket chart: Number each headphone set as well as the pockets in your chart. This chart is for smaller headphones but there are bigger pocket charts that can fit large earphones.

Other ways to Store Classroom Headphones

Hang headphones on the wall: Place command hooks on the wall above student desks or on a designated wall space in your classroom. Put each headphone in a Ziploc bag or mesh bag and hang them from the hooks.

Earphone storage for computer labs: Use headphone hangers that hang on the side of computer screens. Keep the headphones plugged into the back of the tower and students can just grab the headphones off of the hanger to use them, and hung them back up when they’re done.

Classroom Earphone Management tips

Number your earphones to match desk numbers: Use number stickers on your earphones to correspond with the numbers in their storage units or the student desk numbers.

Store the teacher’s headphone on the whiteboard: Teachers use earphones with voice amplifiers. You can keep a hook that hangs at the top of your whiteboard to store it there, or hang it on the whiteboard with a magnetic tie. A hook can also be kept at your desk for keeping it there as a secondary place to store it. See how teachers are using voice amplifiers to save their voices in this blog post.
