My Project

Using iPads in my classroom will help boost my students' engagement and encourage their creativity. In addition, they will learn digital literacy, which will help support independent study, as my students can test their knowledge through interactive assessments. Furthermore, by integrating iPads into the classroom, my students will develop better critical thinking and higher-order reasoning skills, strengthening their math and language skills.

iPads are also easy for younger learners to transport between different environments.

This enhances the learning experience by allowing my students to read, think, learn, and discover inside and outside the classroom. Moreover, iPads are useful for visual learning, reading, and drawing, and they can help students with motor impairments improve their coordination.
