This interactive application helped students achieve higher comprehension skills and aid in literacy skills. The kindergarten students at my school that used Nearpod were engaged and excited to read and answer text through this format, over traditional format. The increase in their test scores also corroborated this. 3ashmacken https://padlet.com/3ashmacken/3zqqpq9khkea/wish/170916883 2017-05-10 04:01:10 UTC https://padlet.com/3ashmacken/3zqqpq9khkea/wish/170916883 I learned that incorporating the iPad into literacy skills keeps primary aged students engaged and motivated. If implemented correctly, iPad applications can be successful in promoting literacy skills. Through my research and case study the findings have indicated that the correlation between keeping students engaged through technology, specifically iPads, the students are more motivated to develop and achieve literacy skills. 3ashmacken https://padlet.com/3ashmacken/3zqqpq9khkea/wish/170917556 2017-05-10 04:11:23 UTC https://padlet.com/3ashmacken/3zqqpq9khkea/wish/170917556 I learned that not all students have access to internet at home. This does not keep them from engaging and being successful in class. Although my case study did not revolve around this thought, I did learn that kindergarten students enjoy praise when they have correctly completed assignments. The students did enjoy the immediate feedback the application Nearpod offered. 3ashmacken https://padlet.com/3ashmacken/3zqqpq9khkea/wish/170918128 2017-05-10 04:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/3ashmacken/3zqqpq9khkea/wish/170918128 I learned through the case study as well as the research I did for the Learning Trends and Issues on Engaging Learners with Technology, if teachers implement meaningful technology, students will be actively engaged. This active engagement leads to success in mastering learning objectives. I learned that as a teacher it is my responsibility to incorporate technology that is age appropriate and purposeful. I also learned it is my responsibility to research technology to fit the dynmics of my students. 3ashmacken https://padlet.com/3ashmacken/3zqqpq9khkea/wish/171981964 2017-05-16 01:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/3ashmacken/3zqqpq9khkea/wish/171981964
