THE Journal reports: In a
research paper titled “Unlocking Literacy with iPad,” Ohio English
teacher James Harmon found that state-compiled statistics indicate that
those students with iPad access in the year leading up to the Ohio
Graduation Test had a 6-percent greater chance of passing the test’s
reading portion than those without, and an 8-percent greater chance of
passing the writing portion.
Is this statistically significant?
ReplyDeleteA lot more evidence based research across large numbers is needed to look at the impact the iPad has on learning. Much of the research done so far is only over small numbers and thus we need to keep that in mind. However information such as this is useful for educators and educational organisations who are interested in what is happening elsewhere and in strategies for doing their own research into the impact of iPads on learning.
