Students who struggle need practice -- targeted, repeated practice aligned with their specific needs. Targeted, repeated practice can feel like punishment. Ipads provide access to a number of evidence-backed interventions that provide the practice in ways that engage all the senses. Engaged students are happier and more successful.
Research suggests mindfulness and biofeedback applications hold great promise in helping students improve emotional regulation. These students often demonstrate behaviors that disrupt their learning and the learning of others. Traditional curricula are great at teaching strategies for emotional regulation, but lack concrete feedback for the students. Apps available through the iPad provide real-time feedback while offering effective means of learning the skills that will allow students to take part in their learning communities.
