Third of pre-school children have their own iPad, says study. A third of pre-school children in the UK have their own iPad or a similar tablet that they use for an average of one hour and 19 minutes every weekday, often on their own without a parent or guardian, according to research.
The study found that in households that have tablets, 31% of children aged five and under have their own tablet; among even the youngest children ownership is widespread with a quarter of those under three having a tablet of their own. Researchers are now calling for further support and guidance for parents, and are proposing “family digital literacy programmes” in early years settings and schools, to help parents support their children’s use of apps and tablets.
Researchers found that of those aged between three and five, 37% have their own tablet. They are most likely to use them from 4-6pm during the week, but use is more evenly spread at the weekend when children play on their tablets for an extra four minutes each day on average. 1 YouTube 3 Angry Birds 4 Talking Tom.

Meaningful Integration: Optimistic About iPads in Schools. Late last year, my colleague Thomas Philip and I discussed why we were so troubled by the ways the Los Angeles Unified School District bumbled its way through adopting iPads for its students.
And, as the second largest school district in the country continues to waffle in its plans for students, I’ve been excited about one district’s initiative to meaningfully integrate technology into the school lives of children. Starting last week, the St. Vrain Valley School District in Colorado began its “deployment” of iPad minis to students at two middle schools. What will eventually be a 1:1 plan for 6-12th graders by next academic year, I was struck by how the language of this plan sounded so different from the jargon-y rhetoric of LAUSD administrators.
Study Finds That Tablets Increase Homework Completion by 29% iPads Improve Classroom Learning, Study Finds. Just how big is the universe, how small is an atom, and how long have we humans lived on Earth, compared with dinosaurs?
Such answers are better learned with an iPad, according to a new study that shows just how tablets tap neurocognitive abilities that help students understand enormous scale and other difficult concepts. Students saw learning gains after as little as 20 minutes of study on the iPad, the research found, and if supported with guidance from an instructor their improvement may have been even more pronounced, the scientists suggest. "The bottom line is that these iPads and similar tools actually do make a difference," said physicist Matthew Schneps, a founding member of the Science Education Department at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Massachusetts. Schneps explained that his virtual solar system study examined iPad use that is a bit different from most classroom applications.
"These uses are good. Active, Engaged, Meaningful and Interactive: Putting the 'Education' Back in Educational Apps. The holiday season is behind us, leaving in its wake newly-unwrapped gifts and a host of stimulating digital toys and games intricately designed to build our brains for the new world order.
As parents, we are overwhelmed -- dare we say flummoxed -- by the sheer amount of so-called "educational" e-products that we can now buy for our children. Indeed, in the latest batch of holiday offerings we even saw the 2-in-1 ipotty from CTA Digital that provided "a comfortable and fun place to learn" while you are potty training your toddler.

iPad Studies at Abilene Christian U. Dig Deep into Learning Outcomes. While much of the research on iPads in education to date has focused on how students and faculty use the device, Abilene Christian University is shifting toward examining how the tablets affect student learning.
Through the ACU Connected initiative, the university has studied mobile devices in the classroom for the past three years. And now that the iPad has been out for more than a year, the university is studying how mobility can integrate with pedagogy, said Scott Hamm, instructional designer and director of mobile learning research for the Adams Center for Teaching and Learning at the university. www.iktogskole.no/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/ipadasapedagogicaldevice-110222.pdf. iPad Studies at Other Institutions.
