Teaching remotely with preschoolers can be tricky, to say the least. Having an iPad will help me manage multiple devices with ease.
I can use the iPad as a document camera to integrate physical objects into the lessons which might otherwise not have been possible, providing learning experiences simply by sharing my screen with students. The iPad can also be a visual tool when showing my English language learners step-by-step directions, experiments, or observational drawing lessons. I can use the iPad as a whiteboard for Google Meet. When I mirror my iPad, I will be able to model to the students certain learning objectives or writing concepts that we would be working on that day. Although this technology tool will help me tremendously while teaching remotely, an iPad is also the optimal tool to use for early childhood assessments when we get back into the classroom. Teachers need to provide anecdotal documentation along with pictures or videos of the students engaging in intentional learning activities. IPads are small and easily accessible when having to walk around the classroom to observe students learning. For children who lack language skills or fine motor skills, this iPad will be a great tool for them to use during small group instruction as well. Children can learn how to type, practice multi-touch navigation, and problem solve. This technology would benefit our classroom both virtually and when we are able to get back into the classroom, which will hopefully be soon.
