In today's world, technology is necessary for every career field. Students who do not have access to iPads and modern technology will be missing out on skills that are needed for their success in today's workforce. My student population comes from mostly low-income homes where they might not have access to learning apps that help with their phonics instruction, tech skills, and coding. We share a few iPads with other classes in our grade level, but we would really benefit from having a set in our room at all times to be used in our math and literacy rotations! A tech center in our rotations allows students to stay focused and engaged on a specific learning target while other students are in a small group or working on a hands-on center. Many of the apps we use record data that is sent to me so I can track their progress and learning, as well. Having our own set of iPads in our room would allow students who need extra practice the opportunity to get on to practice their phonics skills and reading at any time. Having access to modern technology at a young age is invaluable in today's world, and will help prepare my first graders with valuable skills for their future! Thank you so much for helping these little learners expand their experiences!
