What the academics say
“The most significant observation is that the importance of the actual device is not as critical as the presence of a dedicated curriculum program, however, they evidently acted as a motivating influence for students…”
“The key success factor for any Netbook or iPad program is not necessarily the selection of the device but rather is the use of devices by engaged, supportive and prepared teachers within the context of a broader pedagogical change program.”
Dr T. Keane, Prof. C. Lang, Prof. C. Pilgrim, Pedagogy! IPadology! Netbookology! Learning with Mobile Devices. Faculty of ICT Swinburne University of Technology. 2012
“… linking technology to learning objectives is so important. Otherwise, schools could find themselves in a position where the cart (technology) is before the horse (pedagogy). “
Levasseur, A., Teaching Innovation Is About More Than iPads in the Classroom. July, 2012.
“The interactive nature of the technologies was engaging for the students at an operative level. However, when the tasks in which they were embedded did not include appropriate cognitive challenge, students were less engaged and became distracted by the technologies.”
“The pedagogies that appeared most effective were those that were based on using the technologies to solve problems in real-world contexts. When used this way, the iPads were used as tools to assist in achieving a set goal, rather than as a game. An example of one of these lessons was in Year 5, when students were asked to plan a hypothetical outing to the city to watch a movie. The children were able to use several applications on their iPads ranging from public transport timetables to cinema session time applications to plan their day out. The lesson resulted in rich mathematical conversations and problem solving, and high levels of engagement due to the real-life context within which the mathematics was embedded. “
