Using a single iPad can transform your classroom by increasing student achievement and engagement. The iPad allows for personalized and differentiated instruction through tools like formative assessment apps, apps that promote student expression and storytelling, and apps that make learning fun. Documenting experiences with different education technology tools in areas like blended learning models, real-time data collection, and visual thinking apps can help chart progress and identify effective approaches.
