There are so many applications created to help students learn and grow. They provide immediate feedback to motivate the students and correct mistakes. The tactile experience of touching a screen directly with a finger is age appropriate for younger children. Kindergarten curriculum can be individualized and enhanced with the use of the iPad. We found a wide variety of programs that would help our students meet or surpass the standards. There are applications that can provide: early literacy experiences with sound-symbol connections and recognition; drawing programs with a wide range of tools that can be managed with a fingertip; early reading experiences with books or with phonics; Math concepts presented with immediate feedback, and appropriate expectations. The iPad offers an opportunity to enhance our students learning with the direct and effective use of an easy to use and highly interactive technology tool. We are always looking for ways to motivate, challenge, and practice difficult concepts with our students. We would like to provide a better teaching environment, enhance student learning, and find new ways to motivate students. My goal is to make learning fun!
