Tips for Using iPads in the Classroom

By Kristen Hicks, Edudemic

While for some teachers, iPads in the classroom are already a familiar part of everyday life, as of Pearson’s 2014 Student Mobile Device Survey, only 16% of students attended schools that provide tablets 1:1. For all the news stories and chatter in the educational industry about using iPads in education, many teachers haven’t gotten a good look at just what the technology can do for their students. But there’s reason to believe that could well change in coming years. The same Pearson report found that:

51% of students think their school should be providing them with tablets.

89% say tablets make learning more fun.

81% say using a tablet in the classroom allows them to learn in the way that’s best for them.

71% believe tablets help students perform better in class.
