I hope to add two iPads to my classroom to allow my students the best opportunities to enhance their English language skills. These two iPads will allow my students to utilize online resources such as Brain Pop ESL, Duolingo and Tumblebooks. iPads will allow my students to work both independently, and in groups with programs that will help strengthen their vocabulary, reading comprehension and speaking skills. ESL apps and programs have come a very long way in the past few years and this upgrade in technology has made second language learning much more accessible for these students. These iPads would be such a great upgrade for my classroom and an absolute asset for my students as they learn the English language.
