The use of PowerPoint presentations with the LCD Projector, in class, is a great technological advance for our English Language Learners. However, it takes a lot from a whole class interaction and one to one learning. In the coming weeks, I will be teaching students how to graph functions, find the vertex, minimum, maximum, table of values and more, using the graphing calculators. It would be easier for me, with the iPad, to show students (with Geogebra) how to graph functions. I would be able to verify their progress and clarify questions collectively. The iPad is a great tool that will allow me to move around the classroom and will help students to interact within the lesson, and even provide individualized teaching and learning during class time. The use of a wireless device, definitively, will help me with the class flow, allowing me to have more interaction with students and will add more time, in class, to introduce new and challenging topics.
