These iPads will greatly improve the classroom dynamic due to the fact that kids are motivated a great amount when learning with new technology in the classroom. We are able to use math and reading websites that help them stay on track while also having some fun. I, the teacher, can also view students progress online along with being able to make sure they are staying on task at all times making this a great efficient upgrade in our classroom environment. Kids will definitely be more excited to come to class and learn! How else will kids be able to learn while being so greatly motivated? Many great online resources such as Kahoot provide a good learning experience while also bringing competition into the mix. Kids will want to play well in the game causing them to study harder and understand the material better. This causes them to do better on standardized tests and in class in general. Also, the privilege of this technology will keep kids on their best behavior throughout the day and want to keep on learning!
