iPads in 2nd Grade

2nd Graders Learning with iPads
This is an inspirational video to watch for any teacher interested in incorporating iPads into the classroom.  What I enjoyed most about this video was watching the students teach how to use the iPad. They are not only showing those of us watching, but they are also teaching their peers.  Having partners share iPads is a nice way to enhance communication skills amongst students.   They are able to interact and learn together.  This can be very powerful and is a huge part of the CCSS (Common Core State Standards) approach.  Things can be figured out in different ways and having students share with each other how they figured out a problem is very beneficial.  I loved seeing how the iPads are used throughout the day and in the different settings.  I'm excited to move forward and hopefully get more iPads in my classroom.
