Mobile Learning Research | iPad Studies. iPad or iFad? Realities of a Paperless Classroom Researcher(s): Abstract: The use of iPad is examined as a tool to move students from the typical technology infused classroom into a truly mobile environment. The advent of iPad has fundamentally changed a teacher’s ability to mobilize the student’s learning environment, freeing them from the linkages typical laptop based computers have on access and interaction with other students. While iPhone made paperless classroom possible, iPad with its true mobility has made the paperless classroom practical with its functionality and versatility. The use of online texts, virtual games, electronic documents, group projects and teaching tools will be examined.
The use of several applications and tools (such as Blackboard, Numbers, and QuickOffice) are examined outlining the benefits and limitations to their use in the classroom.
