Motivate Students With A Mini iPad

Funded Apr 8, 2014

Mahalo nui loa or thank you so much for the wonderful mini ipad that was donated to our class. The kids were in shock that the ipad was donated and not teacher bought! All students wanted to get a try on it at one time, of course that didn't happen with 30 students.

After a student completed their independent work for math, they were able to play on the ipad by using a math app, Math Champs. They were able to review math skills in a fun way by playing a game.

We received the ipad towards the ending of the school year therefore we weren't able to do too much with the ipad except use it in math. I also used it to show educational videos, and the students are always highly intrigued when I show videos. This new school year I'm planning to use it to show educational videos, use it as an interactive tool which I ask a question, and students are able to send in their answer via the ipad, use it as a center for review skills in math/reading, and also use it for a second English language student.”
