HS PILOT PROGRAMS iPads vs. Laptops vs. BYOD
INTRODUCTION • Ashtabula County • Grades 9-12 • 631 students • 93% White, 2% Black, 3% Multi-racial • 16% SWD, 42% ED • Rated Excellent – 4 years • Block schedule EDGEWOOD HIGH SCHOOL
RESEARCH BASIS • Higher levels of student engagement are positively related to learning (student achievement) • Overall integration of technology student engagement • 1:1 delivery model has greatest impact on engagement • 1:1 computing – positive impact on student achievement
RESEARCH BASIS 1:1 Computing and Student Achievement POSITIVE IMPACT on • GPA • State Assessments in Writing, Reading, Math (mixed) • National NR Tests in Reading, Math • Local Assessments in Writing • Contrary results especially in Virginia, Texas
RESEARCH BASIS University of Kentucky Center for Advanced Study of Technology Leadership in Education
RESEARCH BASIS North Carolina State University Friday Institute for Educational Innovation
RATIONALE UNIQUE WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY • Affordability • Accessibility • New Standards New Resources • State Assessments Online
LOCAL CONTEXT • Mobile laptop carts (2) – Fall 2011 • Visited schools implementing 1:1 programs • Cell phone pilot with 7 teachers – Spring 2012 • Wireless Network installed – Summer 2012 • 1:1 Pilot in Math – 1st semester 2012-13 • iPad Cart in Forensic Science – 1st semester (12-13) • 1:1 Pilot in English – 2nd semester (12-13)
1:1 PILOT PROJECT • First semester last year • Math Department – 3 teacher volunteers • Algebra – iPads w/ eText • Geometry – Laptops (Lenovo) w/ eText • Probability & Statistics - BYOD
PURPOSE • How do high school students and teachers use mobile technology in a 1:1 environment? • What effect does the use of mobile technology have on student engagement? • What effect does the use of mobile technology have on learning? • Which resource do students prefer to use when learning math?
DESIGN Quasi-experimental design with 2 sections of math for each pilot • Learning measured using difference in pre-test & post-test scores • Switching replication method used (HS on 4x4 block schedule) • Student survey administered at the switch & end of course Group Experimental group Control group 1 iPad with electronic textbook no iPad with a traditional book Content – Ch. 3 Inequalities Content – Ch. 9 Quadratic Eq. Group Control group Experimental group 2 no iPad with a traditional book iPad with electronic textbook Content – Ch. 3 Inequalities Content – Ch. 9 Quadratic Eq. SWITCH (½ way through course)
IPADS (43 students) Primary Applications • eText • Schoology • Poll Everywhere • Notability • Tried Flipped Classroom for a few lessons Algebra 1 Class – Freshmen
IPADS (43 students) STUDENT FEEDBACK TEACHER FEEDBACK Best Activity Qrafter Treasure Hunt (15) HW (4) , Tests &Textbook (3) Most Challenging Nothing (11) Fear of dropping (3) Navigating text (3) Best Students more interested Text – many advantages Would do again Challenges Under utilized by T & S Didn’t have device or not charged
LAPTOPS (34 students) Primary Applications • eText • GeoGebra • Schoology • Homework Geometry – Sophomores
LAPTOPS (34 students) STUDENT FEEDBACK Best Activity Schoology, Tests HW , Notes Most Challenging Carrying around Charging Mouse, Book, None “I think we need to look into more ways to use the laptops in school, interesting but useful things. More websites for in school work – not just for extra help.” “Find more ways to use the laptop for math.”
BYOD (41 students) Probability & Statistics – Juniors & Seniors Primary Applications • Graphing • Online data sets • Google Forms • Apps from math professor @ Penn State • Devices – Smart Phones, iPods, Tablets, Laptops • 5 students did not bring device(used laptop from mobile lab)
BYOD (41 Students) STUDENT FEEDBACK TEACHER FEEDBACK Best Activity Final Project (15) Graphing, Surveys (9) Most Challenging Technical difficulties (22) Best Final Research Project – best products ever produced Challenges S. didn’t bring devices, had to give them a heads up Smart Phones – limited application
BYOD (37 Students) STUDENT FEEDBACK TEACHER FEEDBACK “Not best utilized in Prob & Stats class – better in English or History.” “Not enough to do with the devices in math.” “Helped some students and didn’t hurt anyone. Discipline was not an issue. I will continue to use BYOD.”
STUDENT USE HIGHEST RANKED USES FOR THE TECHNOLOGY – Student Survey
STUDENT USE USED DEVICE 4 or 5 days/week – Student Survey
IMPACT ON ACHIEVEMENT Pre to Post-Test GAINS iPad Pilot • Interaction Effect is NOT statistically significant • Mean GAIN in test scores with iPad > without iPad • Larger GAIN in scores occurred with class using iPad second
IMPACT ON ACHIEVEMENT Pre to Post-Test GAINS Laptop Pilot Laptop • Interaction Effect is NOT statistically significant • Ch. 8 GAINS were less for both groups • BYOD group declined more than non-BYOD group • Laptop group scored higher on both chapters NO Laptop Laptop NO Laptop Ch. 3 Ch. 8
IMPACT ON ACHIEVEMENT BYOD • Interaction Effect is NOT statistically significant • Ch. 10 GAINS were less for both groups • BYOD group declined more than non-BYOD group • BYOD group scored lower on both units NO BYOD Laptop BYOD NO BYOD BYOD (Probability) (Hypothesis Testing)
OVERALL SATISFACTION Rate your level of satisfaction using mobile devices in class.
RESOURCE PREFERENCE Which medium do you prefer? Laptop Pilot iPad Pilot
SUMMARY • iPads had the strongest + reaction by students • Greatest level of satisfaction (87%) • Easiest to use (4.7/5) • Strong preference for eText (81%) • Ranked highest for student engagement • Ranked highest on student survey regarding impact on quality & quantity of work • Mean GAIN scores higher when using iPad – both groups
SUMMARY • Laptops • Device used most frequently during class & at home • Similar ratings to BYOD on student survey regarding impact on quality & quantity of work • Mean GAIN scores higher when using laptop – both groups • Lowest ranked for student engagement, students preferring GP using the device (41%) • Traditional text slightly preferred over eText
SUMMARY • BYOD • Device used least frequently during class & at home • Lowest level of satisfaction (60%) • Similar ratings to Laptops on student survey regarding impact on quality & quantity of work • Mean GAIN scores – mixed results • Middle ranking for student engagement, students preferring GP using the device (59%)
PILOT 2 - ENGLISH 1:1 with 2 sections of English 10 (Same teacher) Laptops one GP and iPad the other GP • iPad – easier to access reading material, easier to carry • Laptop – much easier for writing (editing) • Preferred device – iPad with an external keyboard
CONCLUSIONS NEED TO CLEARLY DEFINE PURPOSE Based on STUDENT PREFERENCE & STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT iPad > Laptop > BYOD
