Students today live in an "iWorld" full of technology. An iPad in the classroom will spark interest and create enthusiasm that will yield students an advantage in the areas of scholastic achievement, literacy, and technology. The iPad allows access to numerous applications that teach children decoding skills and make reading fun and easy with visual illustrations and hands on activities. The iPad, with its touch capabilities, will also allow my first grade students to complete assessments at greater ease with just a touch and slide as opposed to clicking and dragging with two hands on a desktop computer or notebook. This will enable students of this young age to focus on their goals and task at hand, rather than being easily distracted and frustrated with technology skills required by older students and adults.
All of my students are enthusiastic learners that want to succeed! This resource will be used daily for literacy development, vocabulary fluency, comprehension, math skills, and the list goes on! It will also be used as an intervention for those students who are struggling in a specific area, as well as a resource to complete Lexia, an applicationspecifically for English language learners.
