With this in mind, I approached this endeavor with the purpose of compiling student data based on iPad use. So here are my goals for my iPad classroom!
- Increase student engagement in lessons and content
- Increase accuracy in oral reading fluency
- Increase reading comprehension
Each of these goals will be monitored in the following ways:
- School Administrators will perform "time on task" engagement observations at the beginning and end of each nine week period.
- Student reading fluency will be measured in the fall, winter, and spring.
- MAP scores in reading comprehension from my students will be compared to a cohort group on paper that mirrors the same ability levels of my students. MAP scores will be reviewed and compared to the Winter and Spring results.
I am sure you are thinking "How is she going to accomplish these goals by just using iPads?" Well, keep reading this blog! I will be sharing my wealth of resources and plans over the upcoming weeks!
Have a great start to the school year, AND FOLLOW ME ON THIS BLOG!!
