This document discusses a 1:1 iPad mobile learning project for a school. It outlines how mobile learning allows for individualized and collaborative learning beyond the classroom. The iPad is highlighted as a cost-effective portable device that can provide digital textbooks, virtual tutors and study groups. Research from the Berkshire Wireless Learning Initiative found that students using iPads put more effort into assignments, produced better work, and were more willing to revise. The conclusion is that the project will help students become lifelong learners and meet Common Core Standards while preparing them for college and careers.
