FIRST LEGO Enhancing Teacher PD With iPads: Technology for Growth
Help me give my students to attend FIRST LEGO Robots Teacher Training to drag and drop the code blocks using the iPad touchscreen and make the robot move and complete the missions that will challenge and motivate students!

My Project
In order to keep up with the latest technological developments, refine their teaching methods, and provide students with the best possible learning support, teachers must participate in professional development (PD). Educators may improve their craft, adopt new technology, and meet the requirements of a wide range of students through professional development that is continuous, relevant, and participatory. Technology can be used to foster growth and innovation with the interactive iPad and touchscreen. One adaptable and dynamic method of professional development for educators is the usage of iPads. Professional development is aided by the abundance of digital resources, interactive lessons, and teamwork tools made available by these technologies.
Educators and their students alike can benefit from the introduction of an iPad.
Schools and students who like tactile experiences may find coding on iPads more engaging since they may reorganize code blocks with the tap of a finger.
The iPad's mobility allows students the freedom to code in any position that suits them best, be it sitting, standing, or lying down. Students with varying learning styles and those who benefit from frequent physical breaks can both benefit from this adaptability.
Apps Designed for Various Skill Levels: ScratchJr, Scratch, and Code.org are just a few examples of the many tools available that provide tiers of content, so students can start at their own level and work their way up. The iPad's seamless app switching promotes self-directed learning and differentiated instruction all in one convenient device.
Our student-coders will be able to enjoy this iPad for many, many years to come preparing for Lego League competitions.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
