The tool that I chose to learn about was the Read and Write LeapPad, specifially for elementary students. I plan to teach elementary education. This tool is made specifically for children ages 4-8 years old. It is an interactive tool that helps students learn how to read, write, and even solve math problems.

What I could really use Leappad for in the classroom is to help students learn letter sounds and how to sound out words. This would also be a useful tool for students to learn to write on. It would be a great way to change up the monotony of some classroom reading by using this fun and interactive game.
Follow this link to see what a student has to say about LeapPad and how it creates excitement about learning in the classroom.
