Device Ratios and Their Impact on Effective iPad Use
What impact does device ratios have on iPad use?
'With one to one iPad, they're so fluent with it; actually they become really fluent in not just how to use it, but the ways they can use it to support their learning. They're much better at thinking of how they can use the technology to help them meet the goal that they've been set. And that's a really powerful thing for us'
David Maguire, Headteacher Coupals Primary Academy - Haverhill
Device ratios – what difference does it make to T&L?
'Having one device for two children means it really does help us with some of our speech and language development in a more accelerated way because it's built into the culture of the classrooms that we're going to talk to each other; that we're going to learn together and that we're going to create together.'
Cassey Williams - Deputy Headteacher, Shacklewell Primary School - New Wave Federation
Device ratios – what difference does it make to T&L?
'Having one to one ratios with iPad really opens up the possibility of what you can do with technology. So rather than it being 'we're doing an iPad lesson because we booked the iPads and we've got to use it for the whole lesson'........ it's just a resource that's available, and you can use it for a small part of the lesson or the whole lesson, it doesn't matter because it's always going to be there. And that, I think, has made a real difference.'
