Writing with a pencil and paper makes him anxious and he resists. I think the touch screen of the iPad will help him express himself.

Using an app such as Quizlet can be a study tool that makes him want to review. danamerrill https://padlet.com/hollyroeholly/2cimjn7dbmxn/wish/445861359 2020-02-15 02:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hollyroeholly/2cimjn7dbmxn/wish/445861359 https://padlet.com/hollyroeholly/2cimjn7dbmxn/wish/446064290 I (Billie) don't have any students, so it's difficult for me to participate, but I do have a pre-k-aged daughter who loves ELA-related iPad apps and it's very obvious that they have a positive impact on her word-recognition skills.]]> 2020-02-16 11:22:01 UTC https://padlet.com/hollyroeholly/2cimjn7dbmxn/wish/446064290 https://padlet.com/hollyroeholly/2cimjn7dbmxn/wish/446100447 I have a student who has Multiple sclerosis and is in a wheelchair. At times,she cannot push the buttons on the keyboard of her Chromebook due to the stiffness in her hands and fingers. With an iPad she can use other body parts to access apps on the iPad and other activities

She struggles using the touchpad on our chromebooks. I feel that the iPad and its touch screen capabilities (even with potential difficulty with touch accuracy) would be an improvement for her and may facilitate her interacting with online content. Various vocabulary apps would also be engaging for her.

I would love to try to use this with my kindergarten students since it had a positive impact on their student learning. I do think I need to be sure of what I am doing and have plenty of knowledge before I try to use it with them first though as that was important as well.]]> 2020-02-16 23:18:27 UTC https://padlet.com/hollyroeholly/2cimjn7dbmxn/wish/446165528 Erin https://padlet.com/hollyroeholly/2cimjn7dbmxn/wish/446169924 I have several students who are ELL's. The language and vocabulary apps would be helpful. Also, some of the websites I use for research read to the students. Often times, you can change the language of the reader.]]> 2020-02-16 23:46:10 UTC https://padlet.com/hollyroeholly/2cimjn7dbmxn/wish/446169924
