Redefining Our Work
The work that the general education iPad teachers are doing can happen in our room too!
The students are able to be met at their level and their IEP goals with the use of their iPad.
You can "mask" differentiated work so the students do not feel the work is "baby."
Engagement and Ownership of Learning
Students record their own voice and hear it back
epubs
Create your OWN books for students!
Include video, audio, visuals, etc.
Such an easy way to differentiate.
