"Research suggests that optimal learning happens when children have the opportunity to use multiple senses, such as sight, sound and touch." And believe it or not, technology can be the perfect tool for addressing each of these senses and providing students with hands on learning experiences. The students in my classroom would be provided access to these iPads on a daily basis during literacy centers, math centers, and choice time. They will have the opportunity to learn their letters, numbers, and much more through engaging games and activities that will make them want to continue their learning. The use of these iPads will also allow my students to receive instruction that is tailored toward their individual needs, thus enriching their learning and boosting achievement.
