With minimal technology in our classroom, we are in need of iPads. As iPads already grab students' attention, effective learning can take place through the use of iPads. The iPads are not meant to replace traditional teaching in the classroom, but to reinforce what has been taught and allow students to practice their newly learned skill. Kindergarten is a year of all things new for students, while many student have used iPads before, they have most likely not used them in an educational, meaningful way. I would love to see my students not only gain additional practice from iPad use, but also become technology literate.
