Instead of being tied to the computer, I was able to check in with students, redirect focus, and offer hands-on guidance while lessons continued smoothly.\r\nThe iPad allowed me to use online platforms to give students points, randomly select names so no one felt uncomfortable, and create groups digitally without causing frustration. I was also able to pull up additional videos and visuals to explain concepts in different ways, which greatly benefited my students with individualized learning needs.\r\nBecause of the iPad, our classroom runs more smoothly and is far more engaging. I am truly grateful we received it early on so we can continue using it throughout this school year and beyond. Teaching has become less time-consuming and much more student-centered because of it.
