Many students have never been told that school is important and that a good education is the most important thing you can have. They don't feel a strong desire to behave or put forth effort in school because those behaviors are not rewarded or encouraged at home. Because of this, behavior management and positive reinforcement is essential to help keep students on the right track and allow for interactive lessons to be possible. I would like to use the iPad as a tool to help me accomplish this.
