My Project

The use of technology is increasing daily. Using specialized reading programs, students can join my small groups for guided practice and utilize apps to help make reading fun. The iPads will allow me to track what they are doing, as well as provide a simple place for them to show and share their work. Technology and reading will help keep my students focused, and interactive with each part of their tasks. By having iPads, students will be able to write, code and encode words through interactive tools. Help me support my students in reading and the growing demand for technology in the classroom. Let's get each student focused on increasing their learning!
