I have a combo 4th/5th grade class of special needs students. Each student has an individualized educational plan (IEP) that targets their areas of need. Most of these students have behavioral problems as well, so motivating them to work and have proper social skills while completing tasks are difficult. Out of the 20 students, 17 are male. All of them are very familiar with cell phones and technology and accessing web sites on my personal computer yet they don't have technology of their own in the classroom. My school cannot afford to purchase the technology for my classroom. We do have a computer lab but it is earmarked for certain school wide use. The students love going to the computer lab. Yet desktops are not at the cutting edge of technology. Using the iPad would be more relevant because we would have more access to apps, software, and programs that help students learn how to be contribute to this world.
