My Project
Many of my students are eager to learn but hesitant to participate when it means standing in front of the class. Some are shy, others fear making mistakes publicly, and a few simply learn better in a less pressured environment.
By integrating an iPad into our lessons, I can give these students a more comfortable way to share their answers and thinking.
Whether it’s through interactive apps, quick response activities, or digital whiteboards, the iPad allows them to actively participate without the anxiety of going to the board. This helps build their confidence, supports differentiated learning, and ensures that every student — not just the outspoken ones — has a chance to shine.
