One of the observations to note here is that greater success was reported at primary and special schools than in secondary schools. Victoria http://www.naace.co.uk/publications/longfieldipadresearch is a study based on iPad use at Longfield Academy, Kent, England. There is strong emphasis on interpreting the data generated by surveying students and faculty. It’s interesting to note the differences in how students perceived the impact of iPad use on their achievement and how teachers perceived the impact of students use of iPads on student achievement. http://my.plane.edu.au/node/84215 Leanne site http://www.minnisjournals.com.au/articles/ipads%20et%20t3%2011.pdf Reading With iPads – The Difference Makes a Difference studied the impact on the reading comprehension, knowledge of content, and analysis skills of boys aged 11 to 13 who read using iPads.

http://www.u-bunkyo.ac.jp/center/library/image/fsell2010_031-048.pdf The Impact of the iPad and iPhone on Education was published in 2010 and is speculative in nature as the students surveyed had not yet been given iPads. The study was gauging student and instructor interest in iPads and potential uses. I would like to see the follow up report if there is one available. http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2013/03/studies-of-ipad-use-in-education.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+freetech4teachers%2FcGEY+%28Free+Technology+for+Teachers%29&utm_content=Google+Reader ||  || || This website lists the skills that each student or teacher would want for example create an ebook, print from iPad etc. Then gives you a list of 5 apps that enable you to do this.
