September 24, 2014 Blog 4

To whom ever it may concern,

We all may know that technology is taking over the way we educate our students. When children get the chance to use some sort of technology at school to help them learn it invites most students to want to do more. iPads are a good investment because there are hundreds of different ways that can help all types of students to learn from pre-school to college students. A reason that iPads are a good resource for learning is because many of the students may have access to them out of school which they could practice doing it at their own time. Using an iPad could help kids learn about the keyboard and make kids write more. Students would not have to keep getting up to sharpen their pencils, which distracts the teacher and students. When you make a mistake the iPad can help you with it. When people have messy handwriting, their work looks neat and is easy to read on the iPad. The iPad in the classroom brings education to life. Children have endless access to valuable information such as a dictionary and thesaurus, which previously were only available in printed format. Interactive technology makes learning more engaging and memorable. Tools such as audio and video recorders can change the way that learning takes place and homework is completed. There are unlimited amounts of free resources that are out there to help students better their education. I am hoping that you find interest in this letter and hopefully this changes your mind in ordering iPads for the school! Below I have posted a video that just shows an example of how fun and exciting it can be for students to learn how to write and learn the alphabet. Hope you enjoy!
