My students are the children of Mexican, Salvadorean, and Venezuelan families. Most of them were born in the United States. Their families are mostly working class: only about 20% of them have an email address, 10% are illiterate, 15% speak Mixteca at home. Unlike students from the rest of the school whose parents are professional and middle-class, technology is not part of their lives --especially, iPads.
My classroom is designed for bilingual education; transferring what is learned in Spanish to English. We have a reading area. an observation (science center), and a 3-computer center. We need iPads to allow Tier 2 and Tier 3 students to get on grade level in content areas such as math and reading.
