Our school has been working with iPads for three years now and I can easily say that these have been the most exciting years of my educational career. A Small Collection of Studies of iPad Use in Education. No Child Left Untableted. Brian Finke for The New York Times There was, as educators say, a diverse range of learners in the room.
Some were well on the way to mastering the tablet. Ben Porter, for instance, a third-year teacher who previously worked as an operations manager for a Cold Stone Creamery franchiser, was already adept at loading and sharing lesson materials and using the tablet’s classroom-management tools: quick polls, discussions, short-answer exercises, the function for randomly calling on a student and more. Other teachers, including a gray-bearded man who described himself as “technologically retarded,” had not progressed much further than turning it on.
Smith, the most outspoken skeptic among the trainees, was not a Luddite — she uses her Web site to dispense assignments and readings to her students — but she worried about what might be lost in trying to funnel her teaching know-how through the tablet.

This post provides a brief review on the current use of iPad in education. Henderson and Yeow state that having a mobile device (like an iPad) right in front of students allows them to strongly engage with content. This way of using mobile device seems to align well with constructivism – which is based on the principle that children learn by doing and that they construct their own knowledge through their surrounding, and in particular that the best way to ensure constructive learning is through actively performing a task. The introduction of iPad as a part of the educational technology strategy in formal education institutions is relatively new. It is only relatively recently that educational technology has been able to support a constructivist approach. I have got an iPad. This is how to Use iPad to Enhance Students Reading Skills.
iPad is still fascinating me with its huge potential in education.
After the Teachers Guide to The Use of iPad in Education and all the other posts I have published about iPad as a learning tool, I am trying today to explore some ways teachers can use this device to improve students reading skills. As you might have learned from the Teacher's iPad guide I posted earlier,there are many reasons why there is a growing educational focus on the iPad and most important of all these reasons are its portability feature and ease of use. I know it is too early to talk about iPad as a replacememnt of the tradional book but the speed at which schools and educational centres all around the world are embracing it is a clear omen that there will soon be a culture of digital eBooks and virtual libraries where access to books will be as easy as sending an email.
iPad Research in Schools. Last updated on 2/5/2014 Print this page1 The Technology Enhanced Learning Research group, led by Kevin Burden (Principal Investigator) based in the Faculty of Education, has completed the first national evaluation to investigate the use and impact of tablet technologies (in this case the iPad), across schools and homes in Scotland.

Some districts are even buying iPads for every kindergartner, a move sparking both celebration and consternation. Do we really want to give $500 devices to kids who can’t even tie their shoes? What are these schools doing with these devices, anyway? Last month, I had a rare opportunity to ask those questions at a school in Zurich, Switzerland.
ZIS, as the school is called, has distributed 600 iPads—one to every student in first through eighth grades, plus a set for teachers in preschool and kindergarten to use with children in small groups. I was wrong. The school has an unconventional take on the iPad’s purpose. One morning I watched first-graders taking assessments of what they understood about “systems.” Sam Ross, a second-grade teacher at ZIS, sees real potential in moments like this.
