ELEMENTARY EDUCATION
IPad Project
We have come a long way in educating kids. From chalk and slates to pen and paper, from all kids ages 6-13 being in the same class to separating classes by grade. One of the most modern ways of healping teach the students are tablets. IPads are the most common kind of tablet. Ipads have many apps and games that can further a child’s education; they use these in school and homeschooling as well. I was given the task of setting up the iPads for the k-2nd grade and 5-6th grade. There are many things that should be considered when setting these up. What the teacher wants, and what they need help on. I also looked up what parents what their children to know and what apps would be best for what they needed.
