IPads in the Classroom
I pads in classroom can be a wonderful thing. It is a great way to frame a 21st century learning classroom. You can almost find any type of app for any lesson you are doing. The children LOVE working on the I pad and learn so much from it! It helps with fine motor skills along cognitive learning.
In this picture my co teacher is showing the letter G on the ipad, signing the letter G along what showing them things that start with the letter G. This is helping children with all different learning styles.
Ipads also help special needs children with fine motor skills along with all types of finger moving and brain games.
They also help children feel proud and themselves when doing something right and helps them fix it if they are wrong.
Here Mrs. Kelly is showing the children a story on pumpkins, while playing with pumpkin pie play doh.
Ipad fun is great for learning skills like taking turns, sharing, teamwork and learning to wait.
To sum it all up, technology in the classroom increases motivation and self esteem, technical skills, more collabortion with peers and increases the use of outside resources.
