My students need three iPads with cases for the endless possibilities iPad apps have to offer. Apps have endless opportunities. I've seen the opportunities for learning that they have to offer during much of my teaching experience. There are many resources to promote reading, math, and writing. iPads in the classroom will give these students a more differentiated instruction while making learning fun. Many of these students struggle to get up and come to school everyday. If we can close the achievement gap all while creating a love for learning then we have achieved greatness. My students will use these iPads for apps such as Xtra Math, FrontRow, ABC Mouse, SeeSaw, ClassDojo, and many more. These will be used during center time and to reinforce instruction. This is an opportunity that these students might not otherwise get to experience.
