I am requesting 10 Ipad Pro's with keyboards. The Tablets will be used on a daily basis for a variety of subjects and purposes. In the intermediate elementary grades, students are expected to be able to type out their writing and be fluent in their keyboarding skills. Without enough computers in the classroom and a limited time in the school computer lab, it is difficult to make sure each student gets the time they need to spend gaining these skills. Not only will the Tablets be used for typing out their writing, research, creating presentations, and test preparation, but they will also be learning the foundation skill of navigating through the web. Technology in the classroom is all the more important for our school district at this time, because of the new standardized test based on the Common Core State Standards, called Smarter Balance will be implemented this year. This test is taken on the computer and students will be expected to have these computer skills.
