iPads

All educators have their own opinions about using iPads in their classrooms, some negative and some positive. I think that using them in the classroom is an excellent approach to using new technology with our students. I do not have my own classroom but I have seen them used at different age levels while I substitute teach.  I think I have seen the iPad be used most effectively in a three year old classroom.  The students were so excited to use the iPad and explore the apps. They not only learned how to use educational apps but they were learning to share also because there was only one iPad. After they had used them for a few weeks the students were basically working the iPad completely on their own, at only three years old. The iPad is one of the best tools to use with the young students!
