In second grade, our focus throughout the year is to study the continent of Asia and integrate it into our literacy, technology, and geography units. My hope is to use iPads to bring the students closer to the continent through it's variety of applications, programs, and games available through the app store. Currently we have 1:1 Chromebooks in the school which the students use every day and are great for research, but they lack the ability to truly interact with the material through a more hands-on approach, which the iPads excel at. This is why I'm pushing for this donors choose project is because the school I worked at before had iPads available to 2nd graders. Student engagement when using them was very high, and their results throughout different projects was truly outstanding. That atmosphere is what I'm trying to recreate at my current school, but I need help.
The iPads will enrich their learning within the classroom.One of the apps that the students will have access to is TouchCast.
