Students enjoy reading because it is an escape from their own reality. As a result, Students have become more interested in sharing their books with others but have not been able to do this due to the lack of an apple tv. Students are very limited to what they are able to project or show others. If they were able to project their work they would be able to interest others in books they've read, be able to prove their understanding of skills, and teach other using their technology to create projects. Students that have special accommodations would also be able to follow along (seeing others work) more easily and feel more confident in sharing their own work.
