About Melissa Hall:
I'm a sixth grade teacher at a public school in the Bay Area. I teach social studies and math.
My mission is to provide an environment in which students grow intellectually and emotionally. I believe it's the teacher's responsibility to meet each student's needs and to find the teaching style which best helps the student. The teacher should provide opportunities for students to connect learning to their everyday lives, provide enough freedom for students to discover on their own, and prepare students for future school as well as becoming a contributing member of society.
Recently, I've focused on how technology integration will support my mission in the classroom. My district is in the process of implementing a one-to-one technology project for the students. Therefore, my action research is centered around using iPads in the classroom.
About my action research:
My action research revolves around iPad use in the classroom. My goal is to improve student engagement and achievement through iPad use in social studies. I'm researching how my students respond to different applications or uses of iPads with regard to assessments.
