How to transform student learning with iPad Tablets have been hailed as the biggest revolution in education since the printing press, but years since the launch of the iPad why has so little in education changed? Many point to the fact that they’re just the latest educational fad, or that their benefits have been oversold. Others call for a return to the traditional methods of teaching, but on the periphery you see schools achieving incredible things with iPads. Schools like ESSA Academy, The de Ferrers Academy and Hove Park all reporting record student results within just a few years of introducing this technology. How are these schools achieving this and how can your own replicate it? In
