The Tablet Inscribed: Inclusive Writing Instruction With the iPad

Abstract

Despite the author's initial skepticism, a classroom set of iPads has reinforced a student-directed approach to writing instruction, while also supporting an inclusive classroom. Using the iPads, students guide their writing process with access to the learning management system, electronic information resources, and an online text editor. Students are able to exchange ideas and work collaboratively in an environment that promotes fluency.
