iPads in the Classroom!
Courtney MacCallum
My View on iPads
I really think iPads are becoming an essential resource in all schools today. I have shadowed several Special Ed. classrooms and every teacher has utilized an iPad for their students. With children who have special needs, the iPad becomes a great resource for them with communication, schedules, or games that enhance their learning visually. I will definitely be purchasing an iPad once I graduate from college and start my career because I believe they hold so much importance and since my concentration is Special Education I will benefit from them a ton.
