Jenna Harrington and Everett 1st Grade Students explore the iPad. App - SumsStacker
1st Grade Ideas
iPads would be used primarily in center time, focusing on educational Apps. This would help with differentiate the independent work during this time when the teacher is working with other students. 1st Grade would like to use 5 iPads per class for 3 - 4 days per week.
Activities: money, time, math concepts, fact practice, spelling and phonics
Laptops are too difficult for first graders to use effectively and independently. They are also utilized for students in the upper grades for more Internet connectivity. The drag/drop touchscreen of the iPad is engaging and students would benefit from the immediate feedback that cannot be accomplished in a pencil/paper task.
The benefits would be differentiation and more time-on-task during independent work.
