I am requesting an iPad so I can monitor my students' online activity. This iPad will enable me to view monitoring websites while I teach from another device. Currently, it is challenging for me to see what my students are doing because teaching content is almost always displayed on my sole screen. It is vital that I monitor my students' screens as I teach so I can ensure they are on-task. Having another device for monitoring will also make it easier for me to provide students with support as they navigate through different programs and websites. This iPad will serve a significant purpose for both online and in-person learning. When we return to our physical classroom, I will have students regularly use this iPad. Students will use the iPad to listen to read alouds, explore educational apps, conduct research, and do much more! The possibilities are endless! Being able to use the iPad will also serve as a fantastic incentive for students. Please help me during this difficult time for students.
