The "Apple of My Eye!" project will provide opportunities for me to use a wide variety of instructional strategies with my students. An iPad in a classroom creates a learning environment with few limits and acts as a gateway to new and emerging technology. My students have experience with the web, but need experience creating new content as they learn. This project will enable students to create videos, podcasts, and video journals to record their learning and track their academic growth. In the next few weeks, students will be involved in their very first inquiry-based learning project. They will have to read a book and create a research project simultaneously. This technology will enhance instruction by providing students with a device that allows them to access the web and apps that will be used to enhance their research presentations, access multiple types of resources (web and app based), and cite resources. Students will also gain valuable life experience navigating the web safely. Students will also use the iPads in the classroom to access websites that assist their learning by accommodating learning differences. Students who struggle with reading will be able to have text read, words defined, as well as the text explained to them. This assistance will help students read more fluently and gain more confidence academically. High-achieving students will be able to access material and activities that push the limits of their learning. The teacher will also use the iPads in small group instruction by providing interactive lessons and activities that allow students to inquire about different topics. Today's teachers are expected to provide instruction that is personalized for each child. Having these devices will enable me as the classroom teacher to meet each child where they are, provide instruction specific to their needs, and ensure academic success!
