Helping A Teacher Teach Better

Thank you so much, 

Currently I am using the ipad to make the lessons so that my students have step by step instructions as well as can watch me do the steps on the board. I also love being able to see all the students'ipads at the same time, to make sure they are on task, and understand the directions. 

My more capable students love it when I print out the directions, and when I make them, I include what tools, or layers need to be added. My students who need to follow along can watch on the board, and I can watch their ipad on my ipad making sure they understand what I am showing. It also allows me to see my student's artwork; those working a little faster, and make sure they fully understand the directions.Not having to get up and walk around the room and check all 26 Ipads every 2 minutes really helps speed up the project and saves on down time. 

I have had several students join 7th and 8th grade this year with little on NO English. These students have had zero experience using ipads and pencils they were so excited to learn something new! I get the feeling it is nice to be on the same page as everryone else in the class since most of my students have not used the ipads, except with me this year. Beign able to see what everyone is doing and be able to show what to do has really made this grant invaluable. Thank you againg for this grant.
