Current educational research shows that the innovative use of technology in classrooms leads to greater educational achievement in students. Having an iPad and Apple TV in my classroom will give me the opportunity to get out from behind my Elmo projector and walk around my classroom as we discuss math problems. Not only does this allow me to teach from anywhere in my room, but it also allows my students to teach each other using the iPad! This fact alone will help me build a community of mathematicians with students who often feel unsuccessful in school. A classroom ipad will give me the ability to directly upload math assignments and guided notes as templates and give my special education students the ability to teach each other by showing their mathematical thinking directly on the problems as they write on the iPad. The more I can let my students be the teacher via the iPad, the more engaged they are with the curriculum. This engagement leads to high levels of learning for the student who is teaching and the peers who are listening and watching. In conclusion, using an iPad and Apple TV in my classroom will give my often reluctant special education students the confidence to share their ideas with their peers in an easy and engaging way. This technology will help my students see themselves as the smartest, most capable mathematicians in the class!
