"So last week, in preparing for the New England Reading Association Conference and the NYSCATE Mobile Learning Summit, I decided to change my approach. Rather than structure my presentations by tool, or by app, or even by project, I organized myself around desired student outcomes - aka. what students can actually do.
However, before addressing that question, I asked not only WHY iPads but WHY Technology? Because….
I want my students to communicate in complex and modern ways.
I want my students to make their thinking visible as an alternative assessment.
I want my students to document their thinking as they work through a process.
I want my students to have multiple ways through which to interact with learning objects."
