Ipad Education

My Students

Students from the North Philly area. Mostly Black students and mostly low income. Mostly curious, but are apprehensive about math and science learning and instruction. My students are energetic, strong, possess multiple intelligences. Some goals for these students are: understanding ways of incorrect thinking, understanding a little about how the brain learns, creating a loving and cooperative environment, developing confidence in their math and science skills, and learning how they already do math and science in their everyday lives to survive.

My Project

Right now my classroom has 10 chromebooks available to use at a time. I would like for our class to have an iPad center for math and science. This way, the use of technology is more tactile. Additionally, the visuals will be more gripping. We will be able to use the ipads to document our classroom lessons, projects, presentations, and experiences through videorecording, photography, and voice recording. iPads are also very accessible for our special education students, who may have difficulty with hand written notes. I love that the iPads can be used as a document camera, particularly for math as well.
