After watching the video, I learned that 1st grade will be receiving 2 more iTouches and the upper grades will be receiving iPads. I honestly think that iPads are easier for first graders to navigate because of the larger area of the screen. However, the kids are so use to using their parents iPhones, it shouldn't be a huge deal.
I am also VERY excited about the 5 Dell mini's that are coming our way. There is so much that the children will be able to do with all of the extra technology in our classroom. I can't wait to see what the years to come have to offer!!!
Unlike last year where the kids would put the iTouches on my computer desk and if one of them needed to be charged they would just plug it in after workstations or math tubs. I will manage my device by naming each one. The iTouches will all have the same "home" in our classroom. There are so many apps to download on the iTouch that go right along with the first grade curriculum.
