My students have short attention-spans and need a variety of games and activities to learn the alphabet, words, and eventually sentences. These young students accelerate their learning when exposed to technology. Unfortunately, they currently only have 45 minutes of computer time once every two weeks in our Media Center. One iPad will triple their exposure to technology enabling them to learn how to read more quickly. There are a myriad of programs, tools, and learning apps (Starfall ABCs, Moose Math, etc.) in an iPad. Eventually, I hope to have several iPads in the classroom, but this will be a great start.
