Chicago Public Schools - Preliminary iPad research
Preliminary research has been gathered on the impact that new technology tools have on students in Chicago Public Schools. Over the last year, CPS schools using iPads have reported increased student motivation, higher quality of work, and a significant increase in student level engagement when being taught in the ares of math, reading, literacy, science, and other subjects. This has been attributed to the broader range of teaching tools available though the iPad and the devices ability to engage student's visual, auditory, and kinesthetic senses. CPS has reported gains as high as 50-60% in Reading, Math and Science. See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpiVeC1Z3yI&sns=em
