Unfortunately, most of the students in my room do not have access to technology in their homes. They come from low-income homes, where money is tight and supplies are not plentiful. I believe having these resources will help the students learn more effectively. Most of my special needs students are classified under speech and language. Using the iPad, my students would be able to further their literacy while using applications that make it fun for them. The use of technology, will help them to not become frustrated, and to help strengthen the literacy skills they already have, as well as helping them to grow in the areas of concern. I also plan to use the iPad as academic enrichment for my higher level students. Finding fun literacy games, as well as applications to help them write narratives, will allow the students to have fun and learn at the same time, while relating to them in this age of technology.
