Mari KyllönenMed. ClassteacherDoctorate student
• Started from a practical need to adapt both ICT in general as well new equipment (iPad) as part of crafts teaching and learning process - as required in national core curriculum as well local curriculums.
• Followed the principles of design- and action research to develop and test teaching methods and -solutions in crafts, made possible by iPad. (18 students from 3rd grade, 11 from 6th.)
• Charted out possibilities of multimediated teaching on researching and collaborative learning in crafts. (Bereiter & Scardamalia 1989; Hakkarainen, Lonka & Lipponen 1999; Lehtinen, 2003; Scardamalia & Bereiter 2003, 2006).
Applies CSCL into crafts concentrating mainly on two aspects:
1. iPad as a tool - not just for the instructions but as well as a resource for students selfdirectioness and collaboration.
2. iPad mediated learning process as a resource of motivation (self-efficacy, joy of own work, positive attitude to crafts etc.)

…make any difference?
So it seems to be.Use of the iPad in crafts was considered by students: 1. Inspiring, even still in the end of the schoolyear
2. Easy and handy
3. Needed, even essential
4. Motivating …and observed by the teacher(s)
Increasing collaborative actions in the class, time spent more efficiently, helping out with differentiation, motivates students.
