I teach second grade to very low skilled but capable and anxious learners. My students come from diverse backgrounds and have many needs. It is amazing all of the great technology that is available to help even young students with reading, math, and science skills. Unfortunately, many of my students do not have access to a computer much less an iPad mini or books with audio. The use of an iPad mini will allow learning to be more interactive and engaging. Books with audio will help my students develop reading skills. A PA system will help my students that have a slight developmental hearing issue.
