- Have the students use the iPad but remind all of them that this feature is there.
Answering questions
- many times we ask students to answer questions in written format
- Allow students to record their voice using the ipad or if you want they can get more creative and use apps like Show me
Enrichment or review
- What can you do you do for your fast finishers in Math class? or for those that need concepts reviewed from previous grades?
