iPad questions

Having the iPads to our disposal in the classroom really helped me as a student in multiple ways. One way the iPads helped me was that I didn't have to bring anything to class. Everything I needed was saved in dropbox or Evernote. The iPads also saved a whole bunch of paper throughout the year. Another great benefit of having the iPads was that we got to try out a lot of different apps. Even if some of the apps we tested weren't good, it was still a cool and fun experience. The iPads also made projects a lot more fun. They made the projects more organized and we usually could complete the entire project using only the iPad.  Personally, I didn't have many problems with the iPads. If anything, the only problem I had with the iPads is that we did have to share them with the other English classes and the science classes. Having to share them wasn't a huge deal, but I feel that if we had them to ourselves that we could definetly use them more to their full capacity. Also, if we didn't have to share them we could work on the iPads at home too. One other problem was that if Mr. Provenzano wasn't here for some reason, the iPads were usually not available. This causes a problem because since we work almost completely on the iPads, when we don't have access to them it can make things more difficult. For example, if we were working on a project and we didn't have access to the iPads, we wouldnt be able to directly work on our project that is saved on the iPad I think that the school district should make it so students have their own iPads to work on. This would help because then we would be able to work directly on assignments and projects at home. With this we would be able to get more work done and make room to learn more. Also, we would be able to use the iPad for not just one class, but all our classes. In my own opinion, if I had access to an iPad for all my classes, I would be able to work better throughout the year. The iPads truly do make things easier and more organized. Another reason why having our own iPads is that it would really help the kids who don't have a smartphone to use outside of class. This year when I was outside of class I would work on my iPhone, but that would not be possible for a kid who doesn't have that privilege.
