iPad Pilot Soars in These Ways...

Launch:

Josh’s letters to parents and students set the tone and gave parents & kids detailed description

Josh’s presentation to kids: clear goals, good idea of what it’s all about, empowering message

Will’s expertise is invaluable. He’s good with the kids, clear, organized, pleasant, helpful.

Classroom:

Kids can face me and be closer together.

Kids don't have to look up at the board-they tend to just pull item up right in front of them. More active engagement.

Portability:

So portable! Kids always have them, they are light and fit in backpack easily.

2 of my kids can’t carry laptops or books because of physical issues. Another said he doesn’t bring his laptop to school because it’s too heavy.

Digital textbooks would make backpacks more reasonable to carry

Learners:

A few of my kids have a very difficult time with text and having all their books in audio format or with audio capabilities would help.

Teachers:
Easier to bring to team and parent meetings.
