One in seven students worldwide has a disability that can impact their learning. I work with students with disabilities in a PE setting to ensure they receive specialized instruction designed to meet their unique learning needs. I find the iPad ideal for meeting diverse learning needs because it gives all students access to create, communicate, personalize, and explore in new and powerful ways. I believe that technology should be accessible to everyone and having an ipad on the go would both be beneficial and constructive. An iPad can transform into almost any tool students need. I would use it as a communication device, a daily planner, reinforcement—and so much more. Students are able to engage in a modern world of technology. I have been finding profound new opportunities to personalize learning using an iPad. A wide variety of learning materials are available for iPad that offer students new and exciting ways to learn. And many of these outstanding resources are ideal for teachers as well. Here are a few examples how Apps can engage a learner: Motor and physical Draw and Tell HD. Students of all ages draw, color, decorate with stickers, create animations, and record stories to encourage imagination, storytelling, and open-ended play. Dexteria Jr. Fine Motor Skill Development. Designed for students age 2 to 6, this app provides hand and finger exercises to develop fine motor skills and handwriting readiness in a fun and engaging way. Social emotional The Social Express II. This engaging, educational curriculum for students with social learning challenges teaches them how to think about and manage social situations. Breathe, Think, Do with Sesame. Students can work on problem-solving, self-control, planning, and task persistence using this bilingual (English and Spanish) research-based app.
