This presentation outlines the use of iPads in kindergarten classrooms and their impact on student learning. It discusses how iPads are being used as tools for early literacy instruction, with each student given an iPad containing pre-installed educational software. The document also explains that iPads help motivate students and keep them engaged by making learning more interactive and enjoyable. Additionally, iPads allow teachers to better support students with learning disabilities through features like video players and voice recorders.

2. Introduction
 Technology has changed the way teachers and students interact.
 The use of assistive technology has also allowed educators to understand
the needs of students with learning disabilities and responded to them
adequately
 Online learning system complement classroom work and ensure that
students catch up on what was taught in class.
 This presentation outlines the use of IPads in classes and their impact

3. IPads in Classrooms
 The IPad is being used as a tool for early literacy
instruction in kindergarten classrooms (Cubelic & Larwin,
2014).
 Every student is given an IPad with pre-installed
academic software that allow them to type, read, and
draw.
 Teachers also use videos and inbuilt recorders for
students with learning disabilities.
 Young children also learn the basic instruction on how
to operate and care for the IPads (Cubelic & Larwin,
2014).

4. Motivates students
 Motivation is key to the fast and successful learning of a young learner.
 The use of IPads increases the level of motivation in class.
 It allows educators to understand the needs of every student and,
therefore, create a conducive environment that will make the student
comfortable and ready to learn (Cubelic & Larwin, 2014).
 Students view learning as meaningful and enjoyable.
 As such, students grasp what they are taught.

5. Tools for Engagement
 IPads keep young students engaged.
 Engagement increases the rate of teacher-student
interaction and makes it easy to teach with ease.
 The interactive nature of computer assisted instruction
allows students to be engaged in every part of the
learning activity (Cubelic & Larwin, 2014).
 It reduces boredom in the classroom.
 IPads incite interest in children and make them want to
learn.
 It improves student growth and development.

6. Students with learning disabilities
 IPads have helped teachers to support the goal of
learning.
 They help teachers understand the needs of students
with learning disabilities.
 The use of inbuilt tools such as video players and voice
recorders have helped children with hearing and visual
disabilities to keep abreast with classroom lessons.
 Such technologies ensure that all students progress at
the same pace. There is no child left behind in the
learning process (Cubelic & Larwin, 2014).
 Therefore, educators should integrate these
technologies in the classroom.
