Right now I am stuck behind a desk writing everything down on paper to show students how to solve problems. An iPad would help me regain mobility in the classroom. The iPad has the added advantage of being able to save work and share it directly with the students via google classroom. I do not have a working promethean board so I am really trying to work some magic and get these kids engaged. The first step to having a fun and meaningful lesson is working materials. This project will also help students be more involved as I could pass the iPad to a student to have them do some work on the board for the class as well.
