With iPads in our classroom, my students will be able to access apps that reinforce skills and enable higher level learning. An iPad helps students who are kinesthetic and visual learners open up the doors of education and individualize their learning experiences. It also allows their little hands to move with more ease making less mistakes, as they are still developing motor skills and struggle with using a mouse with a computer. The iPad will become a tool that will help create more authentic learning experiences in the classroom as well as build twenty first century skills that our children need in order to be successful in a quickly evolving technical world. My students will be able to work in centers with the iPads, writing, reading, learning phonemic awareness skills, working with math and more. They will be able to create both independent and collaborative projects in order to show true understanding of concepts. Students should not be held back because of lack of funds, but deserve to explore and learn on the same level as students who have this access. Our classroom will be forever changed by the addition of iPads. Students will be able to access learning through technology on a daily basis - amazing!
