Many of my students work better independently especially with technology such as using iPads to take assessments for taught concepts. They also will benefit from opportunities to improve their dexterity and fine motor skills by using the tablet to create art and music. Several of my students are not very comfortable speaking but love to utilize technology to show their creativity or to express how well they have mastered a concept. The two iPads will help my students with alternative forms of assessments. There are a plethora of applications that allow students to express themselves to show mastery across the curriculum. I think it will also enhance their level of responsibility.
