I have changed grade levels for the past five years in a row. Any funding that I have received I have had to use to focus on those other grades and students. Now that I will be staying in fifth grade and have moved from lower elementary to upper elementary, I have big plans to enforce the genius hour research project for my students. As I finish my masters degree in reading, I have learned many new things and ways to tie in technology in all content areas, especially focused in literacy. At my school we only have 30 Chromebooks to share between each grade level and I only have five Chromebooks in my classroom. By having iPads in the classroom my students would have easier access to research and also use other apps that would be beneficial for their learning before they go to middle school. In this era, I have seen the importance of learning critical technology and research skills and I am so excited to teach them!I have used Kindles before, however, I am more familiar with the iPad and there is less disruptions with the iPads since the cheaper Kindles that I have used in the past, tempts students to download games as they advertise when students open up the Kindle. iPads are easier to manage and user friendly for students.
