My Students

As a Speech teacher, I have seen articles on speech apps correlated with Ipad devices. I know I could use many of those with my students. With recording apps, students could utilize those by recording themselves in private settings to improve their speech habits.

I am currently a speech teacher at an elementary Pre K-5 school with close to 550 students.

I service 42 awesome students in several grade levels, as well as preschool students. I work with both IEP and RTI students. The community where I work focuses on our children.

My Project

As a speech teacher, I am always working to find productive and new ideas. With an IPAD in my classroom, this would allow my students work with speech and audio apps with the Ipad. Our school has already set up an Ipad site. Many of those could help my students. There are many audio and speech programs on the site already. One example of an app that has promise lies with free eBooks with recording options. The students could actually read the story while recording their voices and then they could listen to their own recording immediately to hear it. I could use the Ipad and apps in centers, as well as in whole groups. We would love an Ipad, cover, stylus pens and adapters.

I know an Ipad could truly be an asset to my speech classes.

My students would love the chance to for this new technology experience. I know an Ipad, cover, stylus pens and adapters could really help each one. Your consideration in helping us would be appreciated.
