**Reflection**

 * 1. **** What impact do you expect to see as a result of using this technology in the classroom? **

As a result of using this technology in the classroom, I see a great impact on all the students even those with special needs. I also see it impacting the teachers by the way they present information and the way they assess their students. This technology is a wave of the future and those who don’t use it are missing opportunities to engage and impact our 21st Century students.

I plan to purchase an iPad this summer and download a bunch of free apps for this fall. I am going to use it to keep me more organized with documents and scheduling students and appointments. I don’t always have access to a computer to check my schedule.
 * 2. **** How do you plan to continue to use your iPad in your personal life? Professional life? **

I plan to use my iPad in my professional life when working with my students with a hearing loss. I want to give them access to videos for science/social studies, apps for language practice, and literacy skills.

I learned of many apps and their application for my students and for me. I learned not to be so afraid of trying different apps and there seems to be apps for every student need. I can’t wait to share what I learned with my family and friends.
 * 3. **** What have you learned from others' sharing that you would like to try or explore more of? **
