In the 21st century classroom, technology is vital, which is why I am asking for tablets. Tablets can enhance books through use of audio and video. They give students access to a wide variety of interactive applications to enhance learning and take it to a new level. When students listen to fluent readers, they become fluent readers themselves. A listening center provides students with the opportunity to listen and follow along as a book is being read to them. It helps build fluency and comprehension skills. Keeping a child’s attention on their school work can be difficult for any parent or teacher. Doing so when that child has autism, ADHD or some other learning disability can be even more challenging. Many of these kids have decreased muscle tone or a constant need for movement-based sensory input that contributes to fidgeting, slouching or soreness, making it tough for them to engage in learning. Wobble stools are an effective way to curb a students need to fidget and regain focus and attention in the classroom.
