iPads Work Great in the Classroom Says Virginia Dept of Ed.
The Commonwealth of Virginia has been running a tablet and eReader classroom study since 2009, and after 18 months of study it has released a report. Students and teachers in two elementary schools (4th and 5th grade) and three high schools in the Commonwealth participated in the study. This isn’t a final report; it’s merely a summary of progress.
The findings so far include:
- Interactive e-books increased student engagement
- Students appreciated being able to work at their own paces,
whether in small groups or independently - The vast majority of students reported being enthusiastic
about reading and using e-books - Many teachers noted a dramatic increase in the students’ independence and willingness to be
responsible for learning on their own - Teachers noted that the e-books encourage more
engagement to learn the material
