My Project

When students are asked to bring their iPads to school every day the issues are endless- the iPad is not charged, their screen is cracked, keys are missing, they forgot their laptop at home, or their iPad needs an update. To avoid some of these issues a classroom iPad would be a dream come true. This classroom iPad will support my students during intervention in small groups. With access to a classroom iPad the students won't have to worry about missing a lesson due to lack of technology.

The iPad plus the flexible seating will give my students the power to choose where and what to sit on which gives students a feeling of ownership over their own education.

We all look for comfort in our lives and we should not deny our students the same opportunity.
