Every student benefits from learning with technology. An iPad will provide many great opportunities to improve their communication, motor and cognitive skills. An iPad provides more flexibility and mobility for the students to work at their desks. As a middle school teacher having multiple math classes, I want to be able to maximize my time with my students in the classroom. By doing this I want to be able to circulate around the classroom keeping everyone on task, and making sure behavioral problems are kept to a minimum. This would also help to keep the lesson moving and cut down on wait time. If I would like a student to write the answer to a question on the board, I would simply hand them the iPad. This tool is quick, easy, and effective. Having this iPad in my classroom would be a great addition to my classroom.
