An iPad app that furnishes with various notes and video interviews with scholars is used by students in Jennifer Sherman’s 11th-grade English Class at the Lab School of Washington, a private school for students with learning disabilities. Besides, iPad is used by students in one of Joy Long’s seventh-grade science classes at Charles Carroll Middle School in Prince George’s County where seventy percent of the students in that class have a learning disability to make a video call to a math teacher in another room to find the average distance a toy car travelled in five trials. Jennifer Durham, the elementary curriculum coordinator at Lab School said that the iPads are engaging because there’s instant feedback and it’s easy to operate and can read to them if they need it to read to them. Science teacher Long used an app called eClicker “to level the playing field” to know who is get=tting the answers right, and who needs assistance more, without anyone else in the class knowing. According to school officials, tablets allow students to work at their own pace and with a level of privacy formerly unheard of in classroom. Stigma that often comes with being a special-education student can be removed.
