The document summarizes the implementation of a 1:1 iPad initiative by the Eanes Independent School District. It provides research showing the benefits of 1:1 programs, including increased student engagement and motivation. It outlines the district's professional development for teachers and expectations for students. Survey results found students using iPads to organize notes, communicate, and complete assignments electronically. Focus groups revealed that while distraction decreased over time, students and teachers felt the iPads enhanced learning.

December 2011

32. Students
“I can’t even imagine how we
learned before this.” -
Student Body President
“My stress levels have
decreased now that I know
where all my work is.”
“As the year went on and the
novelty of it wore off, we
realized what an important “I didn’t want to do anything
teaching tool this is.” inappropriate with it because
it was vital to my learning.”

33. Teachers
“Distraction was an issue the first month or so, but that’s really
tapered off now that my teaching has adapted and the kids
value the device as a tool.”
“I’ve adapted my teaching now that I know what a powerful tool
this can be. I will completely change much of what I teach next
year now that I realize this potential.”
“I have some issues with my textbook and what they have
available online. It would be nice if there was a consistent
source of that information that was available on the iPad.”
