iPads can be put to use for a multitude of good reasons. However, in my classroom, they are crucial for my students' success. My 13 students come with a variety of needs that can be fulfilled by the academic, social/emotional, and vocational applications that can be added to our iPads. Not only will these iPads encourage my students to want to do their work, they will also help me monitor their progress and track their growth. These iPads will help my students trace their names, complete addition problems, view social stories, translate their speech, and so much more. I am so excited to see what a difference these iPads will make in our classroom!
