What’s our experience with 1:1?
•
A - I teach in a 1 to 1 classroom.

•
B - I have access to take 1 to 1
lessons for some classes.
•
C - My school is considering
going 1 to 1.
•
D - I’m just interested in the idea
for later.

Why do schools go 1:1?
• School adminstration direction?

• School Council / parent pressure?
• Government programs and trials?
• School System Directions?

• Teacher demand? • Student demand?
• Supported by research?
• Pressure from neighbourhood
schools?

What do you think the major 1:1 issues in
schools?

DEECD iPad Trial
Findings [edited]
1. The iPad (as a device) has functionality and features that enhance its use as
an effective and engaging learning tool.
a) The iPad is easy to use.

b) The touch-interactive flat screen tablet with pinch in/pinch out functionality
provides students with autism, ADHD, Aspergers, visual disabilities and poor fine and
gross motor skills with more efficient access to effective learning opportunities.
c) High speed access to online information enables more self-directed learning and
rapid access to a fast-growing market of relevant and regularly updated educational
apps.

d) Portability enhances collaboration between students and communication between
students and teachers, increases parental engagement in learning and strengthens
home-school connections.
2. The iPad is just a device. It is just another tool (albeit a powerful ‘anything
anytime anywhere’ tool) in the teaching and learning toolkit.

Findings [edited]
3. Quality teaching is (as has been found in other studies) the factor which enables
the iPad to be used effectively to improve student motivation, engagement and
learning outcomes.

a) Teachers used the iPad to meet the speciﬁc learning needs of students and support
engaging, interesting and collaborative learning.

b) Students used the iPad to take greater control of their learning and present and share
their learning with their peers, teachers and family.
c) Teachers found the iPad to be an especially valuable learning tool for students with
special learnings.

d)
Students used the iPad to improve their learning outcomes, especially in literacy,
numeracy, communication and thinking skills.

e) The iPad was used to extend learning beyond the classroom.

4. 90% of students said that learning was more fun when using the iPads.

5. Teaching and learning success with iPads is more likely where they are used in a
supportive school and home environment.
a) School leaders actively encourage the purposeful use of iPads as a strategic support for
improving student outcomes, and facilitate teacher access to pedagogically-focused
professional learning opportunities.

b) Students and teachers have timely access to quality technical advice and support.
c) Parents are informed about and understand the way in which iPads will be used to support
their child’s learning and take an active interest in their child’s learning.

6. iPads in the trial had a signiﬁcantly greater educational impact (and were more
successfully implemented) in primary and special school settings than in secondary
schools.
a) This was in part related to structural differences between contemporary primary and
secondary classes.

b) Primary and special school teachers in the trial also demonstrated greater preparedness and
capacity to incorporate the effective use of iPads into learning and assessment activities.

The iPads for Learning Trial reinforces that quality of teaching, combined
with purposeful and effective use of ICT contributes to improved learning.
