iPads as an Inclusive Technology tool supporting students Communication

Get iPad savvy, because your students probably are! Here are some tools that will help you navigate the new uses of technology in your classroom.

I found this app to be a great tool to use for the spelling of various vocabulary words in Spanish. Teachers can assign the category they want the students to practice with or the students can pick by category. Some of the topics students can pick from are numbers, clothing, verbs, body parts house, etc. In my curriculum we don't teach all of the vocabulary presented, yet they can use the letter choices given to attempt at the spelling and they are learning a new vocabulary word for the picture given.

Tablet computing and mobile devices promise to have a dramatic impact on education. A growing number of schools across the world are jumping on the digital bus and embracing iPads (less often, other tablet products) as the latest tool to teach literature in multimedia, history through games and simulations, and math with step-by-step animation of problems. Not surprisingly, student scores improve when they use iPads and their interest in school soars.
