Ipads Transformed my Special Education Classroom
I loved this article about how a teacher got a grant for an ipad which she used in her special education classroom. A student "who had never written a word before, wrote his first word on the ipad. Three students utilized the ipad's stimulating and interactive features and finally learned to read at the ages of 12,13, and 14 years of age."
It was awesome to read about how this piece of technology changed how these students learned and how they were able to overcome learning limitations. The ipad mad them progress in ways that they never thought was possible.
