Mr. Sigmund’s Classroom Edit display name

I am requesting two iPads for my Social Studies classroom. I feel that when students engaged and having fun, there are countless learning opportunities. Students that are engaged with technology, will be able to make deeper connections and make learning more meaningful. Having iPads in my classroom would allow the high achieving students to push their learning beyond what they thought they could do. Confidence could be gained with my struggling students by giving them a creative outlet they didn't know they had. The majority of my students in my class have never been to another state or country. They learn about these "distant lands" every day in Social Studies. I would love for my students to be able to interact with technology to "see" the world they are studying. I want my students to be able to complete group projects that allow them to have a more hands-on approach to learning. The iPads will allow students to be able to gather, collaborate, and examine the history and culture of countries taught in my world history classes. Virtually, students will be able to travel the continents and navigate the geographical features and terrain of they are studying about. The students will use the iPads to complete individual assessments, play interactive learning games with the class, complete research, draft presentations for their peers, and many other endless opportunities.
