Most of my students are hardworking students who don't have access to the Internet at home, so they don't have the chance to access technology or play educational apps. I am a Resource Specialist Teacher who finds one of the toughest parts of my job is to keep kids interested in learning. Most of my students have learning disabilities, so if I can bring in a high interest piece of technology, like the iPad then they will be excited about learning without even knowing they are learning. Lots of times, children with learning disabilities need extra opportunities to practice skills that need to be reinforced through high interest materials. So if they have that precious second chance with me in my classroom, it makes up for crowded classrooms with students overpowering one another to gain access to a lone computer. I am an advocate for these students, and while I may not have a child for the whole day I consider them mine. I am most concerned with their success academically and in life.
