Peregian Springs State School mLearning BYO iPad Program Background Some parents ask about the evidence on which we are basing our ‘bring your own’ device programs. Research into technology in classrooms has been conducted over the last 30 years with the most influential and definitive research being done by Dr Reuben Puentedura. His research has shown that using technology to support instruction in a planned way (across K-12) rather than just having children play learning games has a significantly higher effect on student outcomes than introducing technology in later schooling years. IPads have been trialled in classrooms around Australia since 2011. There is a plethora of information on the Internet about these trials and their success in increasing student engagement, responsibility and a range of learning outcomes. These trials were so successful that in 2012 the Department of Education in Queensland provided every school with 10 iPads to be used with students with disabilities and learning difficulties. Of particular use to our school is the research undertaken by our own Department and also that of Victoria where one-to-one programs have been implemented widely for many years. The following websites provide some reading on this, should you be interested. • http://education.qld.gov.au/smartclassrooms/documents/enterprise-platform/pdf/ipad-trial.pdf • http://www.ipadsforeducation.vic.edu.au/pubs/ipads-for-learning/2017-ipad-trial • http://cheltenhamps.vic.edu.au/wp- content/uploads/sites/13/2014/11/iPads_for_learning_In_your_hands_trial_evaluation_report.pdf Our Regional Technology Manager (who is employed by the Department to work with schools to develop these programs) also has provided a number of resources to our School Council. These are available on request Many of our teachers have pursued their own further learning and professional development in the use of digital technologies for learning. Our approach to the use of iPads and laptops in classrooms is to move students beyond being content consumers to constructing their own understandings and moving to a level of content creation. Most research points to the greatly increased level in student engagement which included more communication between teacher and student, development of responsibility, compacted learning as students move more quickly through steps in the curriculum at their own pace, and an increased quality in the work students produce. The research also tells us when mobile initiatives fail, it is due to relying on the use of pre-loaded software that merely replaces an existing activity in the classroom and when games for rote learning of discrete facts are used. The use of mobile devices in classrooms requires pedagogical change where teachers actually alter their instructional practices. Our teachers have and continue to be supported with professional development and coaching in the use of mobile devices for learning. Their work is often on show for visiting educators and many of them regularly are asked to provide professional development to colleagues in other schools. History of Bring Your Own (BYO) Devices at Peregian Springs State School The mLearning BYO Program has been an on-going priority since our school’s inception. Our aim has been to identify best practice models and to evaluate if access to a personally-owned device at school and home has an impact on academic improvement, engagement, attitude to learning and on the development of 21st century learning skills. BYO MacBook (2010 – now) During Term 3 2010, we participated in a project evaluating the advantages of a student personalised laptop program, supported by Apple who provided MacBook laptops and iPod Nano devices for students in Years 6 and 7 for a period of four weeks. This trial informed the implementation of the student laptop program at Peregian Springs State School which commenced for students in Years 5, 6 and 7 in 2011. Parents were involved in information and Q & A sessions with staff and local Apple representatives, to help make an informed decision.
