2) Project progression: starting conditions•  Spring 2011: Implementa4on of personalized iPads (I) in 2 classes of a voca4onal school (grades 12 and 13) in Rheinland-‐Pfalz/ Germany •  In the ﬁrst instance: „Par4al equiment“: 8 students per class were equipped with an iPad •  Three-‐months project term „pilot study“ to iden4fy general indica4ons of the iPads‘ impacts and also tes4ng the integra4on in everyday in-‐class-‐use @luise_ludwig

KEY FINDINGS@luise_ludwig

2) iPad in education – most frequent usage@luise_ludwig

2) media and information literacyIf I want ... a)  ...to further my knowledge in a topic b)  ...to get an overview about a topic 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 @luise_ludwig

2) Tablets in Classroom- technical /organizational perspective•  „form-factor“ no physical barrier between the teacher and leaner •  Dependency on the•  Instant start up character infrastructure (wifi) implies more time for learning•  Notes can be kept in one spot – •  Limitations by browser available anywhere (flash-videos)•  Intuitive device „touch and •  No USB gesture“ •  Install Apps via iTunes•  Frequent use of internet and app(lication)s only•  10hour battery life – iPad can •  One-to-one equippment is be used the entire school day needed•  Minimal technical support is required @luise_ludwig

2) Tablets in Classroom- (teacher‘s) didactic perspective•  more time for learning •  lessons are more difficult to „effective study time“ to assess•  activation of students •  student activity requires more time•  turning students into teachers •  openess requires more time•  collaborative working •  to be forced to do group•  individualized learning work •  depth and quality of•  advanced learning and information („dull knowledge“ ) teaching by using Apps and (Weinert) ebooks •  how to deal with daily homework and class tests?•  initiated mobile learning (if learning with 1-to-1 devices) @luise_ludwig

3) Steps to success: Integrating one-to-one-devices Screenshot of a student‘s iPad ager the use of a 3month-‐term by Luise Ludwig @luise_ludwig

3) Steps to iPad success: Integrating one-to-one-devices•  1-‐to-‐1 programs maximise learning opportuni4es à major beneﬁt: can be networked for two way communica4on and collabora4on àbetween teachers and students and àextend learning beyond the classroom •  increased comfort level with a range of sogware applica4ons and ability to apply technology to access, manipulate, and organize informa4on @luise_ludwig

...BUT...one-‐to-‐one is about learning, not just technology or equipment. New thinking about content, curriculum planing, educa4onal theory and teacher training may needed in order to exploit the full poten4al of one-‐to-‐one-‐learning with mobile devices like the iPad and to get an essen4al part in schools like teacher, books or blackboards. Luise Ludwig (in press) @luise_ludwig

3) Integrating „tablet-learning“...... needs new teaching concepts and training tools What is powerful to learn? Curriculum What is powerful learning and what Educa4onal promotes it?
