Currently, while teaching math, I write out a problem on a whiteboard and then try to hold the whiteboard close enough to my laptop camera for the students to read. Students have difficulty reading the whiteboard. A lot of time the words and numbers are blurry. If I had an iPad, I could present the iPad screen to my students and have a writeable surface that they could easily see (it would be similar to writing on the whiteboard or chalkboard in an in person classroom). This would be more engaging for my students. I could also use different apps on the iPad to create shapes, arrays and word problems. I would have access to a division symbol-which would be life changing. Once we are back in person in the classroom, I could use the iPad with my small group lessons to show videos and other media. My classroom is an inclusion classroom. Several of my students have identified learning disabilities. Students from the intermediate autism classroom attend class with my students for socialization and increased access to grade level content. Many of these students have difficulty manipulating a laptop. Having an iPad in my classroom would make learning more accessible by running educational programs where students could use the touchscreen on the iPad rather than having to use arrow keys or a mouse.
