Back to School Giveaway

If you're a K-5 teacher, we know you're probably still relaxing in your beach chair, soaking up the sunshine, listening to the sweet sound of the ocean waves, while sipping on freshly picked coconuts served to you by some cabana boy in a grass skirt on a tropic island.  But the reality is, dare I say it, that back to school is just around the corner. 

Wait, what? You've been working all summer? Teaching summer school, attending professional development classes, lesson planning, shopping for supplies, prepping materials and decorating your classroom? Yeah we know. Don't forget we're teachers too. It was just wishful thinking. We do however hope everyone had at least a few days to sit back and relax without thinking about school work.

  1. I'm sure my kids would love an iPad in the classroom. I try to make my computers seem like an iPad with Symbaloo but it's not quite the same.

  2. I love to use technology in my classroom! There are so many different opportunities for the children to learn through the use on an iPad! One ipad in a classroom is definitely not enough for all students to have the opportunity to use them. Looking forward to having a few more in my classroom :)

  10. I would love to use this ipad and apps to target student needs for specific interventions in language arts and math. It would also be a tremendous tool in getting feedback on student responses using apps like plickers. We love technology in my classroom!

  12. I would love to win this iPad. I would use it several ways in my kindergarten classroom. I would use them in my literacy stations where students would work on recognizing letters, letter sounds, tracing letters, blending words, recognizing sight words and other phonics apps. I would also use it during math stations for my students to work on recognizing numbers, tracing numbers, addition, subtraction and other math concepts. I would also use it during interventions and morning work. Children in this day of age learn best from technology and would rather use technology than paper and pencil. I would also use this iPad for my two year old daughter to begin identifying letters and numbers. This iPad would really benefit my students and my family.
