Project Name: Proposal for iPad Project Ramsey School Team members: Rick Melander, Lynette Strandness, and Gina Aguirre-Larson Action Research Overview: This research project focuses on the impact of iPads on math vocabulary acquisition and comprehension and student motivation to do math. Students will use iPads for vocabulary study/practice, as well as assessment (both pre- and post-tests). Pre- and post- project attitudinal surveys will be administered to assess student motivation.

Ongoing reflections and plan for sharing:
//How iPads are supporting learning.// - Students have begun to use internet for independent research after learning how to research on the iPad. - Some reluctant writers have begun writing more in their daily journals after completing an iPad writing project. - Student motivation/perception seems to be a major factor. Students ask to take another test on the iPad. Students ask for more vocabulary and grammar work so they can use the iPad. Competitive apps seem to appeal to some previously unmotivated students, in both math and language. - Use of Socrative for testing: A group of students took the test with both Socrative and on paper. All performed better on the paper test - some as much as 40% better. They believed it was because they had time to reflect and could change an answer when taking a paper/pencil test. - Student survey responses indicate that iPad use is very popular with the students.
