Help support Mr. Smith's Classroom

Help me give my students a tool that can be used to engage, monitor, and assess student learning. This year has been a year of both challenges and opportunities for growth, including working with teachers from across the district on curriculum development. We have learned from one another in a variety of ways, including strategies and methods that use technology to better serve student mastery of learning targets. The colleagues I have been working with use iPads on a daily basis in their classrooms for a variety of functions. I would like my students to benefit from the experiences that I can create for them with this powerful teaching tool that can be leveraged to access engagement, as well as monitor and assess student learning. An iPad can be used as a mobile document camera to display examples of student work, or other visuals such as geometric figures. It can be used as a mobile whiteboard for the teacher to complete notes and example problems that are projected on the screen. This can all be done while the teacher is able to monitor student work by moving about the classroom. In addition to its use as a simple whiteboard, it can also be used with applications like notability to annotate on documents that students are working on, or to annotate visuals like a cartesian plane. It can also be used with interactive websites or apps that can show 3D renderings of cross-sections in Geometry. Additionally the mobility of an iPad can also be useful when students are working on asynchronous online activities like Desmos. Many of the functions described can also be used in the context of recording tutorial videos for students to access at any time. Students will benefit both while learning in the classroom, and from home.
