Every day we see the world changing around us. We have no way to predict what the adult world will hold for today's learners. Every day more and more students are enrolling at our school that have been displaced due to Hurricane Maria. These students are already nervous, scared, and some are even traumatized. In addition to the students that we have enrolling, we have a large number of students that are worried about their family members that are still in Puerto Rico especially with reports of power outages still being an issue all over the tiny island. With all of that and SO much more, our students are still expected to meet high expectations based on rigorous standards. With these iPads, learners will be able to work with iReady in both reading and math on personalized learning paths to meet their individual needs. Furthermore, some of our learners are striving every day to meet grade level, let alone understand the English language. E-books are a perfect option to curb any embarrassment students may feel about reading at a lower level than their peers, or with their slower rate of fluency. An ebook doesn't shout, "look how long it's taking my bookmark to move" or, "look at this low-level book!" It's slightly more private. We're lucky with ebooks as our Media Center hosts a large amount on MackinVIA and over 5,000 engaging ebooks on MyON. Both programs can and will be used with these iPads.
