This study examined the effects of how 1:1 iPads (1 student to 1 iPad) impacted
preparation, delivery and feedback for teachers. In particular, this study investigated
delivery, efficiency, student engagement, assessment/feedback, and intervention and
how 1:1 iPads allowed for new approaches to lesson delivery that would otherwise be
difficult to impossible without 1:1 iPads.
This study showed how in the 2013-14 school year in a Midwestern Suburban
7th grade Pre Algebra classroom the teacher graded and analyzed the class's work far
faster than previously possible. Once the teacher started to become more efficient, the
teacher had an opportunity to update teaching practices to match the needs of the
classroom. The teacher prepared for lessons in a way that was not previously possible,
including meeting with each student with more frequency and improved accuracy of what
students needed help and with what topics. The teacher became so efficient that he
was even able to run a hybrid classroom.
