My Project

With these fire tablets, my students will be able to go above and beyond. They’ll have instant access to a plethora of novels, short stories, poems, videos, and much more. This will help them excel in ESL. After reading a novel students can participate in a classroom discussion right from their tablets. My favorite feature is that it will come in handy to be used as a dictionary/translator, and they can listen to their novel with their own personal headphones so they can keep up with the rest of the class while still getting all the same information.

These tablets, which will mainly be used as a source of reading, can also double as a typing mechanism for students to submit assignments.

These devices will help the class move smoothly and effectively with endless possibilities at their fingertips.
