  5. Potential benefits of new 1:1 mobile devices for learners with ASN “I think that there has been a real improvement in motivation for many of my pupils, several of whom have support for learning needs. The 1-1 aspect has meant that the children have really personalised their iPads and made them work the way they want. They have become important tools for learning in my class with many children surprising me on a daily basis with the types of work they come up with.” Teacher, Bellshill Academy • New mobile devices are more practical than older tech • New mobile devices are cooler
