Hi Kevork

Last year I researched the use of iPads in Year 7 at one school, and
Netbooks in Year 9 at another school. I looked at how the device was being
used by students in each subject, their thoughts and perceptions,parents
were also quizzed and teachers interviewed. Is this the sort of thing you
are after? My paper has been accepted (Double blind reviewed) and will be
published in the upcoming conference proceedings for the ACEC12 Perth
conference.

Cheers

Hi Folks,

 If I may ask a very broad question, is anyone across recent
research covering the impact of iPads and apps in learning
achievement/improvement at any level ( primary, secondary, tertiary ) ?

Specifically, I am wondering if there is a control group of any type
such as alternate tablets, mobile devices,  netbooks, MacBook Air,
MacBook Pro etc etc.

Additionally I am wondering if a baseline is used in the study such as
³ Both groups, control and iPad users entered the study at VELS level
x. At the end of the study the control group was at y and the iPad
users were at z on the VELS or any other measurement used².

Generalized findings such as students showed improvement in confidence
with the use of technology or could read better ( than what ? not
having any technology or having a laptop or working in labs ? ) will
not be as useful IMHO.

It is a topic that has come up in discussion and I am looking for both
research as well as anecdotal evidence from schools on the iPad
journey if I may please.

Kind Regards
Kevork
