Help support Mrs. Montgomery's Classroom

This year I have been using a app called SplashTop which allows me to be away from my computer and work one-on-one with students who have more learning needs, but still control my computer from a tablet. Currently, I am using a first generation personal iPad that I brought from home, however it no longer has the software required to run the application. When it does run, it is slow and my work computer glitches. There is another application called Plickers that I am introducing into my classes that allows me to test their immediate understanding of material learned in class. It acts like a multiple choice clicker and allows them to choose an answer that they think is correct. These two applications would enhance my classroom by allowing my students immediate feedback on their understanding of material and allow me to spend more attention one on one with students who are not comprehending material. The key to success is understanding that not every student learns the same. My students will use the iPad by allowing me to have my lower level writing kids look at one slide and freezing the projector to a different speed for my kids who are ahead, that way I can account for differing speeds of writing and reading. My students will also use it for simulations and brain pop games that we use as supplemental material to our science curriculum.
