Being a Title IX school, my classroom has access to shared iPads. On the iPads, students can access Amplify Reading, a program that uses the reading assessment and tailors activities specific to the deficits of each child. Some examples are phonological awareness, syllable recognition, identifying rhyming words. The application requires the student to listen to the instructions, however, it is hard for them to focus on their activity when 5 of their classmates also have the application launched. Aside from Amplify reading, the Benchmark Advance tests are also available online and can be taken using the iPad. This will help students get accustomed to using technology for tests, a skill that is required of them in 3rd grade and on for the SBAC. This also allows students to finish the test on their time since they can choose to have the story or question read to them as many times as they need. The in-ear headphones provided by the school are not ideal for lower-elementary students, most choose not to use them because they are uncomfortable. My students typically have one headphone in because they have to hold it in their ear. Most of the students have opted to not use the headphones since they do not like how it feels to have something lodged in their ear. I want to provide my students with every tool they can use to succeed, these over-the-head headphones will do just that.
