Today was a lot like an episode of Oprah's favorite things.
I got so much knowledge and ways of thinking about being a digital kindergarten teacher. We watched a Dan Brown video

which challenges all educators to revolutionatize education, and then we were told we would get the tools to do it.
This was so exciting yet I can't help but to anticipate the challenges ahead.
Very little research exists on how to use iPads when teaching TEKS ( Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills), especially in kindergarten. I have found articles about the "pass back" effect of iPads. When parents just pass back their electronic devices to keep their kids entertained in the car or in the doctor's office. Here is the article i read about that... http://joanganzcooneycenter.org/upload_kits/learningapps_final_110410.pdf
I want to ensure student achievement when using iPads.
I will accept this challenge
