1:1 Technology Learning for 1st Grade
What is 1:1 Learning?
Starting at the beginning of the Fall 2015 school year, first graders will be given a tablet to enhance their learning skills. 1:1 learning allows for students to be engaged with their personal tablets in order to have a more desirable learning situation. Teachers will provided lesson plans that students will have to complete on their tablet everyday. This will allow for students to be engaged in the very high tech world of today while beginning able to use their personal style of learning on the tablet. This new teaching style will teach the students pride, independence, expression, engagement and presentation. We want to incorporate the 3 UDL Principles listed below.
Presentation
The tablets will provide flexible ways of presentation to give students with diverse learning styles many options of ways to acquire knowledge.
Expression
Students will have many alternatives for showing what they have learned by using the tablet which will spark their creativity.
Engagement
The tablet will help challenge the students, motivate them to learn, and learn even more about what interest them.
