Researchers Will Test Use Of iPads In K-8 Classrooms

T.H.E. Journal (8/3, Schaffhauser) reported, "Through a partnership with a large urban school district in Utah, a research project at the University of Cincinnati will experiment with the use of Apple iPads in K-8 classrooms. The initiative will test the use of 35 Apple iPads to collect educational research in a federally funded partnership to improve teacher quality in elementary math and science education." T.H.E. Journal added, "An overarching purpose for the project, however, is to help schools to become greener and reduce the amount of paper shuttled among researchers and stored for archival purposes."
