iPads will make a huge difference in student learning outcomes across content areas. Technology is becoming more and more relevant in our society, and I feel it is important to teach kids how to use technology properly. I plan to incorporate an app called Near Pod, which will allow kids to go on virtual field trips, look at and manipulate 3-D models, and participate in real-time polls and checks for understanding. I also would use apps such as Kahoot, Freckle, Zearn, Epic, and many more. I believe these will help kids get more engaged in meaningful content throughout the day.
