My Project

Please help my students obtain an iPad to utilize during our reading intervention time. During this time I have students utilizing a program that has an online component for direct instruction. Since I travel to other rooms for interventions an iPad will allow me to utilize this portion with my students without interrupting the classroom teacher instruction and compromising their technology use.

iPad lets students learn, explore, and create the way they think.

For students who learn better by hearing what they’re reading or writing, iPad has built-in features that add an auditory component to text.

iPad comes with features and apps to support communication and creation. Students can independently or collaboratively use iPad to increase fluency, build vocabulary, and interact with written text in various ways. And they can use the built-in creativity apps to draw, record audio, take photos and video, and more. These apps also allow teachers to create relevant, age-appropriate materials.
