I have been working really hard in getting more technology resources in my 2nd grade classroom for my students and I to explore and grow with. I posted a donors choose and received my first iPad. Then I received two Kindle Fires for my classroom. The Kindle Fires cost $50 each and the iPad mini cost $250 each so for the price of one iPad I could have 5 Kindle Fires. I kind of regretted getting the iPad instead of 5 Kindle Fires once I realized the Kindle Fire has pretty much every app I will be using them for besides iMovie. I will be using chatterbox, QR codes, Star Fall, and Sushi Monster. If I find any more beneficial apps for my students I will access their value and possibly add those as well. So all of you iPad lovers out there I want to know why people spend so much more money to get the iPad? Is there some big benefit I am not seeing correctly? Before I get more Kindle Fires I want to make sure I am not missing a bigger picture with the iPad.
Additionally, if you are an educator and you use your iPad or Kindle Fire for beneficial activities with your students please feel free to share them I am looking for engaging, creative, beneficial ways to incorporate them into the classroom more regularly.
Thank you
