Research shows that iPads used with children in Special Education classrooms are proving to be productive. The children are responding to the iPad & apps in a remarkable way. I believe that iPads can transform Special Education classrooms! As a new SPED teacher this year, I'd love to see it happen.
I am currently a Special Education teacher at an elementary school with more than 500 students from Pre K through 5th grade.
Currently, I am working with 13 students in several grade levels in classroom settings and in my own classroom. I love my students and bringing out the best in them.
My Project
In my line of work as a Special Education Teacher, I am always working to enrich lessons for my students. My students love technology tools and resources. With an iPad mini 2 in my classroom, this would allow all students under my wing to experience the interactivity of an iPad and apps. I could use the iPad and apps in centers, as well as in whole groups connected to my projector. Having an iPad mini 2 and case would truly help us out. I plan to use an iPad for RTI and Intervention to help lessen gaps with certain skills. I would use those in independent and group centers. As a teacher, I also plan to use the iPad mini 2 by connecting it to my projector for whole class lessons. Our school has already set up an iPad page with apps for parents, teachers and students. Many of those are free. I know my students would love to work with these in reading, math, social studies and science.
I feel this opportunity to gain an iPad could benefit my students.
Together you and I have an opportunity to help my students experience something new, positive and productive. An iPad mini 2 and cover could really help our class. Your consideration would deeply be appreciated!
I truly believe that iPads can transform Special Education classrooms. Please help me show it can be done!
