This generation of students coming into our classrooms is a generation that loves technology that nowadays is a click or a swipe away. Access to technology in the classroom will increase our engagement and our letter and reading knowledge tremendously! In my classroom, about 75 students will benefit from having a reading center and technology that will help them with their learning. They will use these tablets and headphones to use different websites to practice our listening and reading. Most of the students in our class don't have access to tablets or any other electronic devices at home, so with this new access to technology, they can't wait to see what other things they can research or learn about.
