If my classroom was able to receive two Amazon Fire Tablets it would be beneficial for my students in many ways. My students have a very difficult time learning new skills. There are thousands of apps for students especially those with disabilities. The different apps and online will be used for communication, literacy development, reading for enjoyment, video modeling, vocabulary learning, math development, social emotional learning, behavior skills and strategies and simply for motivation. In my classroom, positive reinforcement plays a major factor in my students learning. They have a difficult time attending to tasks, so they require constant positive reinforcement to act as a motivator. In addition, since a lot of my students come from low income families, they are not able to be exposed to the benefits of tablets at home. Since it utilizes a touchscreen, the Fire tablet is more accessible for children who have learning or coordination difficulties. A tablet can also go wherever the child goes, which means they will have ways to calm, and focus throughout the entire school building and transitions. Tablets serve as a great tool for learning and communication which are two areas my students struggle in. Since Tablets are customizable, I would be able to tailor it to my students specific needs and create personalized lesson plans. With the touch screen on the Tablet, my students can watch as one of their fingers directly writes on the screen to make selections, which in turn helps improve their fine motor skills.
