My students need more iPads for a bigger class. When you can not have an iPad for each student, having one for each two students is the next best thing!

We need Blooms Digital Taxonomy in the classroom. iPads are a tool for students to create and show understanding in all subject areas. We can evaluate and analyze books, story problems, science experiments, and much more. Students can even apply their knowledge using apps.
Our school is in a fabulous community in a college town in Virginia.
In our classroom you will always find a diverse group of students. There are students in our classroom who have a wide range of needs. Some are below level, on level, and above level in reading and in math. Having a wide range of understanding of the content makes it more difficult to reach each group, for each subject taught, on their level and with their learning style. iPads are a great tool to help me as the teacher teach multiple groups at a time. With apps, I can record myself and create presentations to re-teach and to pre-teach students who need a little extra when I am unavailable during a guided reading or math group.
My Project
As I stated above, these iPads will be used in the classroom to reinforce content or to pre-teach students who need a little extra when I am with another group of students. These tools will also be used for students to create and show what they know. Apps allow students to apply, explain, and remember what they learned. This is a great way to evaluate if the students are learning the material taught and a great way for students to teach one another. In our classroom this year, we have already created presentations on the Earth's Cycles, animal cycles, and have also been creative when learning about each other by making videos and presentations about one another.
iPads are a fantastic tool to add to my tool belt as a teacher.
This devise allows me to teach more students at once. It allows for students to create and show their knowledge in language arts, math, science, and social studies. Students can analyze math problems by or summarize a book. Most importantly, they add fun to what they are learning. I have never heard a student complain about getting on the iPad and best of all they are learning!
