Our classroom centers run on fun, engaging activities that are centered around common core academics. The way in which some students with disabilities access curriculum is through educational learning games as well as educational apps. Laughter and smiles are a way to test to see if a student is engaged in their learning.
Some students have difficulty with the barrier of using a trackpad or mouse for online learning games, so touch screen capability allows any student to access the technology. We currently have 2 updated iPads and 4 1st generation iPads that do not allow new educational apps to download. There are various educational learning opportunities online that some students can access through educational apps that would greatly benefit each student's learning. The simple features of a touch screen iPad can help students access apps that would normally require teaching through using a mouse or touchpad but some fine motor skills are yet to develop and it would be a barrier for them.
