The sample

Teachers from:

three elementary schools

two grammar schools

one secondary modern school

All teachers use iPads. Some provide iPads for all

classes, whereas others uses them for one class only.


A summary of Main Findings

Framework for Tablets in schools

Additional technical equipment: Wirless Lan,

Synchronisation of required Apps, Projecter, Printer,

Headset

Support by the management/ headmaster/ mistress

Flexible usage (battery, ready for use, mobile), no

Computer Room



Framework for Tablets in schools

Financial aspect: which tablet should be used, who

will buy and manage the tablets?

„Bring Your Own Device“ = personalised learning

Teacher needed introduction to tablets not the

students



The Learning Scenario = Constructivism

The scenario is project-based and interdisciplinary

Learning by doing

iPads are used for desk research, for drill and practice

and to create presentation

Clear division of labour is needed



The Learning Scenario = Constructivism

Self-directed learning will be facilitated

More individual, personalised learning is possible

Students are motivated to learn and work

Teachers are rather coaches than instructors, but that

is challenging. Shift in teacher identity and the way

how learning happens.

If we teach today as we taught
