10. Why iPads & Literacy?
• Students with iPads:
• Are more realistic in identifying their own
literacy abilities
• Are more likely to pass standards-based
assessments
• Are less likely to identify technology as a support
to do well in English class
• Are more likely to regularly attend class

20. What does this mean for teachers?
• Simply putting an iPad in a student’s hands
will NOT change teaching or learning
• Teachers open to new tools provide more
opportunities for differentiating instruction/
learning
• Lead, follow, or get out of the way!
• iTunesU course: best practices
