During in-service on Monday, one thing teachers did at our school was learn about some new-age technology. My time was spent exploring Ipads. I was impressed with the amount of educational opportunities that were available for students to use that could have the potential to provide additional practice in so many academic areas - especially that of literacy and math. If you have an Ipad at home and are interested in providing additional academic practice using this form of technology, be sure to inquire with me. Unfortunately, I do not have the funds to purchase one for our classroom at this time, but am hoping that in the future, this could be another tool that is used by our students.
