What does research really say about iPads?

6. Basically this article was about research, done by Jeanne Carey Ingle and Tanya Moorewhead, on how effective iPad or technology is or is not in educational learning. They went about this research by training student teachers on how to use the technology with and without students around. In the end, they found that by training the teachers on how to use the technology, teachers use technology more in their everyday teaching. Because of the training, they are more confident in using the technology, which in turn helps the kids because they are engaged in learning when using the iPads, and other technology.

Just like Snap Chat, Instagram, Facebook, or any social media apps, it takes time to figure out how to use it. You do not just download the app and know everything about it. This is the same as technology. Using different types of technology in the classroom is very beneficial. However, it takes time to learn how to use it. I think if teachers were trained, they would use it more. They would be comfortable to use it in their lesson. Technology is very beneficial for all children because it accommodates for all types of learning. I defiantly agree with adding more technology in classrooms, but first have training with the teachers so they are confident when they include it in their lesson.
