Introduction

Creating Successful Lifelong Learners with iPads!

iPads are emerging in classrooms as a new technology tool. The purpose of this wiki is to show how the iPads can be useful in a Special Education room for the teachers and the students. It is important to provide all students, especially special education students, with a variety of tools to learn since every child learns in their own unique way. In a perfect world, every school would provide an iPad for every student and use them appropriately. I will explore some possible grants for the iPads and provide information on what apps are appropriate and useful for the students. This is a very new idea, so it is important for people to be aware of the uses and benefits of iPads before purchasing them. They may not work for every students, but the goal is to find a way for students to be successful with them. It would be easy for me to sit and list off the benefits of the iPads, but I think it is more important for future educators, current educators, students, and parents to see how educators are using this technology in their classrooms right now! The iPads in Action page will give you the best ideas on how to use the iPads in your classroom or with your child! Enjoy and remember to always take risks with learning!
