The first term of iPad use

So, the student have had the iPads now since September and have been in school since mid-November. There is no doubt from the data returned that the students have valued the iPads whilst in the university (see previous posts) but we are now starting to ask if this has changed their own attitudes to teaching and learning, or changed the attitudes of those who are tasked to teach them (Qui doceat ipsos magistros!).

We interviewed some of the students just before they went onto teaching practice and there were some very interesting responses. We have also now sent out a wider survey (December 2013) and are awaiting the responses from this survey.

The telling thing is the enthusiasm with which the students are using their pads and how keen they are to have (and keep) hold of them.
