My students will benefit from having two iPads in the classroom. These tablets will expand access to information and new ways of learning. iPads are a great research tool and are very user-friendly, which makes sharing ideas easy and simple between students. Students can zoom easily and be proactive in their learning with these tablets. These iPads will benefit my ELL students since they can use the iPads at their desks to translate words they may not know in English. I use my small cell phone screen daily with my ELL students to communicate and help each student understand curriculum by using a language translator application in the student’s native language. By using technology to communicate, my ELL students are feeling more involved in the learning going on in the classroom and are wanting to share on a more active level. iPads are a great research tool and support for my ELL students to strengthen their learning in the classroom. Students will use the two iPad tablets to find information, share with group members and revise research. Also, students can share information and projects they have with the entire class when connected to the display projector. I want to support my student’s success and believe these will be a great asset in the classroom for my group of diverse learners.
