Apple iPad Needed to Engage Students and Enhance Learning in the Classroom

This lesson puts the Apple iPad at the center of every lesson. Attached to my laptop, I have an air server which can be connected to the Apple iPad. When students are working, I want to be able to walk around and take pictures of their work, after they are finished working, I can recall their work using this iPad and display that work on my smart board. This allows all students to see and listen to the student's work that is on the smart board. This saves time by not having students come up to the board and do the problem out again for their classmates and relieves some anxiety since I can either talk about their work or they can. It also builds confidence in their learning ability and helps with public speaking. Another way I would use the iPad is to take imovies of students working or having a book discussion. This clip would be great to show parents, show the class what went well with their discussion and engage students throughout the day. I know in the past when I have tried this lesson and learning with students, they were always very excited to be selected to talk about their work and it motivated them to work hard to be picked to talk.
