Students will use the iPads during technology time to access learning materials at their current instructional level. This allows students to get personalized and responsive support with literacy and math skills. iPads will also be used for student driven inquiry projects. Giving students a user friendly machine like an iPad gives them the confidence and motivation to be engaged. Our students need to have experience creating technology based presentations to be successful in their educational career and beyond. In an ever changing world driven by technological advances our students deserve to be given opportunities to interact with up to date devices.
