Having a set of a variety of books and iPads will allow my students to discover new and exciting adventures. Many of my students do not go outside their 4 walls of their apartments and giving them the exposure to an imagination will entice them to have a future. I feel that when you read you open a new world that has never been touched before. My students are all native Spanish speakers and many do not have the resource to electronics. Using iPads will allow the student to research the unknowns in their surroundings and at the same time help them with their school work. Poverty is one of the biggest obstacles my students face, but having hope in their education will allow them to push for a brighter future.
