I strongly believe that teachers must adapt in order to better our students' education. Right now, adapting to technology can help us provide a better education. By using technology like the iPad air, stylus, and Apple TV, I can continue teaching thoughtfully while also being cognizant of COVID regulations.
By using an iPad and it's accessories, I can project what is being written on the iPad to the front of the board, maneuvering around the constraints of COVID and traditional white board and marker learning. With the iPad, I can take pictures of students' work and display it for the rest of the students to see. If the product needs reworking, I can edit the product on the image, not on the original, forcing students to make their own corrections. This perfectly aligns with Nevada World Language Standard 3; one of the most important standards where students must present, in the target language, a product they created.
On top of projecting my students' work digitally, using an iPad allows teachers to do things they couldn't have achieved before. For example, with the iPad, I can walk around the class and still write notes on the front of the board. Talk about using proximity for behavior management! An added benefit of using an iPad for lecture notes is that you can choose where those notes are saved on the cloud, meaning if a student is away due to COVID, or any other reason, they will also have access to your lecture notes. I hope my project has inspired you to see the benefits and potential of what using an iPad can bring to a class during a pandemic, and beyond.
