I have only 3 iPads for the 22 students in my class. My students use them to record their thinking and learning in ELA, math, science and social studies. Even after bringing my personal iPad and iPhone, it is very difficult to ensure each student has sufficient time to benefit from this powerful teaching aide. Many students are not native speakers of English and need the audiovisual learning interface to become strong readers who can grasp concepts in humanities, social and life sciences. Through iPads children gain access to books and read-alouds that are otherwise not available to most of them. In addition to having an audience to write for, my students will use iPads as tools for metacognition and self-assessment in order to enhance their learning. A reader and writer myself, I dream of my students to discover the joy and power of writing and share it across the globe. Through today's technology, my students will acquire 21st-century skills for learning and inquiry and have a broader platform to express themselves and tell their own stories.
