Unlocking Literacy with iPad
 
 

As a veteran English teacher in the Euclid City Schools, and someone who sees great value in integrating technology, I wanted to contribute to the ongoing dialog regarding tablet/mobile computing, specifically the iPad, and its impact on student literacy and students’ self perception of their own literacy. You can find an article detailing my teacher research below as well a short video I produced for this project. Check out the Resources section if you’d like to learn more about this device and how it can differentiate instruction for your students.
