I am an advocate for the use of iPad’s in the classroom. As
an individual, I have benefitted tremendously from having an iPhone and iPad.
Students that can benefit from the use of iPad’s are limited in mobility, and
can possess tense muscle characteristics such as spastic quadriplegia, and poor
communication skills. Offering many adaptations to applications, the iPad
allows individual accommodations to match strengths and weaknesses of the
learner. One application that was discussed is the application titled “Magic
Piano”. Magic Piano is an inviting application that allows students to explore
the components of a piano. The Magic Piano application allows the learner to
experience a piano through a technology-based system, while also providing
settings that are congruent with the needs of the individual. This year, I have
been exposed to the use of iPad’s within my classroom. Initially I was not
comfortable with using the technology device as a learning resource. However,
as I become more familiar with the system, I become more confident in
implementing the device within my learning instruction.
