Assignment+7

**Reflection**
1) What impact do you expect to see as a result of using this technology in the classroom? As a result of using the iPad in the classroom, I expect to see the students more engaged in learning activities. I also predict that they will enjoy learning more while using the iPad. When they are more engaged and enjoying learning more, they will also be gaining a deeper understanding of the concepts being taught. In addition to a deeper understanding, students will also be learning technology skills, which will be important in their future school years, as well as almost any workplace. With the use of the iPad, I expect that the students' overall academics would improve.

2) How do you plan to continue to use your iPad in your personal life? Professional life? I will definitely continue to use the iPad in my personal life. I have learned that it is really simple to find useful resources and most apps are pretty easy to use, too. I will probably use Animoto to share family pictures, and I will also use the iBooks to find books as references or for leisure reading. In my professional life, I will use Common Core apps and other resources to help me focus my teaching. I will also use the iPad to record lessons for my students and assess my students.

3) What have you learned from others' sharing that you would like to try or explore more of? After learning what the others have learned, I am going to be exploring a couple new apps for my students, my daughter, and myself. For my students I would like to look into the Math Slide app and see if it has levels that are appropriate for 5th grade. I will also use the Write About This app for my students who have a hard time choosing a topic to write about. For my daughter, I plan to download the Read Me Stories app, and for myself, I will explore the Fast Food Calorie Hunter, Shop Savvy, Spark Recipes, and Live Binders.
