This year my students will complete two class projects that will be made possible through Apple's latest technology. They will also use it every day in the classroom for whole-class interactive activities with e-literature and to stay up-to-date with current affairs in the Spanish speaking world. My students will be using the newest iPad with the Apple Pencil to create video and literature in the target language. During the first semester, we will film and edit instructional videos on Spanish topics of their choice. During the second semester, students will work in groups to create their own short Spanish children's books. My students will use this iPad to help them create with the language and become more acquainted with the latest techonology. Being able to use the iPad and Apple Pencil will allow my students to edit their videos and to easily publish their own original drawings and designs as part of their children's books.
