“…The iPad might be one tool with which Kulik and Kulik's prediction becomes a reality. As iPads with game-based learning apps become more prevalent in the classroom, researchers, teachers, and administrators need to understand the effects of iPad use on students' understanding of elementary mathematics (Enriquez, 2010). The present quantitative, quasi-experimental study is at the forefront of cuttingedge educational developments as no elementary mathematics school 1:1 initiatives have been documented; thus, tablet usage in the elementary school environment has not been researched.…”

After 10 years of No Child Left Behind standards-focused education, mathematics scores have improved only marginally for elementary-aged students. Students who developed a solid conceptual mathematics foundation at the elementary level succeeded later in higher-level mathematics courses; thus, educators have sought ways to increase mathematics achievement, especially among elementary school students. Educators have utilized advances in technology with gamebased learning applications and wireless Internet access to create exciting interactive learning opportunities for students that may translate into student achievement. The purpose of this quantitative, quasi-experimental study was to examine the effects of iPad use as a 1-to-1 (1:1) computing device on 5th-grade students' mathematics achievement in two rural Virginia elementary schools. A nonequivalent groups pretest and posttest design was used with 104 fifth-grade students. For one academic quarter of nine weeks, the experimental group used iPads as 1:1 computing devices daily during mathematics class while the control group members did not. A pretest was administered before the iPad intervention and a posttest was administered after the iPad intervention. The change from pretest to posttest was not significantly different between the two groups as measured by a one-way repeated measures analysis of variance. Recommendations for future study include increasing the intervention duration, using additional participants, collecting qualitative data, and providing students with continuous 24-hour, seven-day-a-week iPad access.

“…The use of social media and mobile devices in the classroom to improve student engagement and to increase interactivity has been reported to be useful (Aviles & Eastman, 2012;Bansavich, 2011;Chao, Parker, & Fontana, 2011;Crews & Wilkinson, 2010;Enriquez, 2010). A study that focused on the use of tablets in the classroom showed an increase in students' active participation during lectures, an enhanced ability to evaluate student learning, and a robust method for providing immediate feedback to improve student performance (Enriquez, 2010).…”

This study seeks to understand the perceptions of professors using social media (also called Web 2.0 tools) in the classroom, what kinds of mobile devices are used to access the social media used, and what drives individuals to use them. In addition, it seeks to identify the advantages and concerns faculty has with the use of social media for classroom instruction. Two-Way Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) procedure was used to ascertain whether differences existed between two dependent variables and (a) gender, (b) different academic ranks, and (c) gender *rank to determine if there are any interaction effects between genders regarding the magnitude of their perceptions of advantages and concerns about social media uses for classroom instruction as they migrate through the ranks. Professors, regardless of sex or rank, held statistically the same views of the advantages as well as the concerns related to social media usage in the classroom.

“…Enriquez discovered that students showed overwhelmingly positive attitudes on their learning experience while using tablet computers in the classroom environment. The interactive learning environment was also found to improve student performance compared with the traditional instructor-centered learning environment [2].…”

Abstract-iPad has started to appear in classrooms recently. Studies show that the tablet computer engages students in learning and improves student performance. On the other hand, Wikipedia attracts many attentions in education field as well despite of worries about credibility and reliability. We have developed a prototype of interactive Map-like Wikipedia Visualization in an earlier research project. In order to test the feasibility of such a new technology in classrooms, we conducted an explorative study which combines the usage of iPad, Wikipedia and the visualization in a high school in Macau S.A.R. This paper presents the design of this study and the result we observed.
