Clickers In the

More Is Less

According to Ostashewski,
N. & Reid, D. (2011) interactions on an IPad are
more visually presented
then small smart phones.
IPads allow students to be
more engaged in
the lesson. IPads
have more features
that students are
able to use and they
are larger than
smart phones and
are the size of
books. For this research they looked
for two upper elementary
school classes that had
students that were withdrawn and disengaged in
the lessons. They project
was completed in two 6th
grade classes from different schools. The three
strategies that they implemented in the classroom
were mobile small group
demonstrations, large
group demonstrations, and
student-controlled playback-and-practice activi-
ties.
In the urban classroom the
teacher setup a blog and
students were able to research information using
the IPads. When the stu-

Less Is More
According to Bennet, K.
(2012) just because IPads
are expensive doesnt
mean that a school
should not get them.
Teachers can implement
the use of IPads in many
different ways within the
classroom even if they
dont have a classroom
set of IPads. Students
can work on IPads independently or in small
groups. This allows the
students to be actively
engaged in the activity
that they are working on.
One example from the
article was about a student that was normal off
whichever electronical
device their group has
such as laptop, IPad, IPod,
Desktop, etc.
Partners and Trios: Students work in groups of 23 with their IPads.
Teacher Only: The teacher has the IPad but passes
it around as needed.
