Primary school iPad use potentially positive for boys - study

According to a study by researchers at the University of the West of Scotland, the iPad may positively influence pupils’ engagement and has a particularly encouraging effect on the boys in the class. The study focused on a group of 28 pupils in a Scottish primary school, which was made up of 10 girls and 18 boys. Lessons using iPads – and without – were observed and the overall finding was that boys’ engagement with the lessons with iPad activities was raised noticeably.

It is now on its 4th version, as well as there being a ‘mini’ version available since 2012. iPads are becoming increasingly more popular in schools as a mobile teaching/learning device.

Should we use iPads in schools? We are good teachers precisely because we don’t have one tried-and-true method, says Guy Claxton...

Should we use iPads in schools?

Many people seem to think education is like medicine, and ought to be ‘evidence-based’ in the same way. We should figure out plausible ideas about ‘what works’ in classrooms, and then submit them to large-scale randomised control trials to see if our method is better than some ‘control group’. But I don’t think this is either possible or desirable. I think teachers should be researchers – but in a very different sense. Let me explain. First of all, this model assumes there are simple cause-and-effect relationships waiting to be discovered.

But we can and do make experiments in our own classrooms all the time, and we are better teachers for it. But though all kids are different, every class quickly develops a mood or a culture which comes to narrow the bandwidth of the children’s diversity. So no, we shouldn’t try to be Researchers with a great big R. Ipads in primary. iPads in Education. 250 best iPad apps: education. iPads in the classroom: Our school’s journey.

iPads in the classroom: Our school’s journey

I have undertaken the role of ICT co-ordinator since my NQT year and ICT was my specialism for my university course. He wanted me to use my expertise of teaching ICT to work across the whole school and see how well I could embed core ICT skills within the curriculum. Initially I wasn’t overwhelmed by the idea, the ICT suite although big enough for a full class, was starting to feel outdated and was often temperamental. To take on this role I needed something new, fresh and exciting to really impact on teaching and learning. iPad lesson ideas.

For the Summer Term I am planning to support staff at the primary school I work at with understanding the basics of using an iPad in a primary classroom. This blog post is going to act as a base for all of my advice, so it will probably change over the coming weeks.

Comment:Last Updated:5 November, 2011Section:Primary Classrooms at a Greenock primary have been transformed by a shipment of tablet computers On the first day of the 2010-11 school year, teaching changed forever for the staff at Cedars School of Excellence in Greenock.

That morning, every one of the 105 pupils at the independent school found a brand new Apple iPad on their desk, with their surname printed on the protective sleeve. While the teaching staff had been looking forward to the benefits of immediate access to internet resources and word processing for all pupils at all times, they did not predict the impact the iPad would have on all parts of the school day. “I thought it would be very useful for reward time and little apps; I didn’t think how big a part of teaching it would become,” says Andrew Jewell, head of middle school. His colleague Fraser Speirs, the computing teacher, conceived the idea to make Cedars the first school where each child would have his or her own iPad. ? ?
