In a world with fast paced music, TV, and hand held entertainment, it's important to keep up with students' ever changing attention spans. In our classroom, we not only bring science to life every day but we engage in meaningful experiments and experiences that leave students wanting to explore the world around them. Since we do daily investigations our students are constantly engaging in the scientific process! However, in a school without textbooks it is often difficult to engage students in dynamic lessons and resources that are differentiated without technology in the classroom. We need four iPads and four matching cases so that I will be able to run a technology station everyday that students will rotate through as they watch background videos, engage in online experiments, and complete formative assessments that will give real time data to use to shape their instruction the following day. I can also make sure that four of our science groups have an iPad during science exploratory activities that would engage my students with specific learning disabilities and allow for read aloud accommodations. In short, these iPads could revolutionalize our classroom!
