iPads at Ramsay

KinderiPads1William Ramsay Elementary School began working with iPads in the Fall of 2012. Seeing a need to improve literacy in the Primary grades, the school improvement team looked to technology to help supplement the wonderful learning already existing in the classrooms. Having used iPads the previous year at Polk, TIS Bobby Offterdinger worked with Ramsay to develop an action plan involving the purchase of 4 class sets of iPads. Since acquiring these devices, students have been primarily using them to engage in think-aloud activities and to extend their literacy knowledge.
