Introduction
To meet 21st-century demands, many school districts are flocking to put a technology
device in the hands of every student. It is common for Apple’s iPad to be the school’s chosen
technology device. By ensuring every student is equipped with an iPad, school administrators
believe that students will be prepared for the future—a future that will engage students in critical

their futures—but just how engaged are students in the learning experience when utilizing iPads?
Are students being readily prepared to meet the 21st century demands that guide them toward a
successful future in critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity? How does a

student, educators expect that students will be future-ready, prepared for jobs that do not yet
exist. The future will require students to be engaged in critical thinking, collaboration, and
cooperation within their roles. By engaging students in these areas, educators expect students
will be more engaged in their learning. Simple use of the iPad will not be sufficient in ensuring
students are meeting these needs. Educators must be teaching students in ways that allow
students to learn how to use iPad technologies appropriately. Additionally, educators must utilize
effective teaching strategies and methods in conjunction with the iPads that support future-ready
expectations for engagement. Neglecting to do so may not support student engagement in their

The age of adolescence is a critical time for students in brick-and-mortar schools. By the
time adolescents arrive to the sixth grade, major life changes and experiences are emerging.
“Most adolescents are in various stages of puberty; they are becoming more aware of their
bodies and more self-conscious. Their thinking is more abstract and more complex. At the same
time, adolescents are becoming less motivated by academic standards” (Collins, 2006, p. 10).
Sixth grade is a troublesome yet exciting time for students as a result. Adolescents are learning to
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF 1:1 IPADS 9
find themselves while simultaneously navigating the waters of what sixth grade offers for their
social lives.
Academics may seem to be put on the backburner for sixth grade students. However,
Akos found that “as students get older, they want increasing input into the function and structure
of their classes” (as cited in Collins, 2006, p. 14). Oblinger and Brown identified that 21st century
adolescents crave learning experiences that offer “teamwork, experiential activities, structure,
and the use of technology” (as cited in Bloemsma, 2013, p. 19). In the sixth grade, there is a call
for these methods of learning that involve interactive and multi-processing skills. Furthermore,
the high emotional needs of 21st century adolescents require meaningful learning experiences and
the ability to make connections. To allow these lessons to happen, Sousa explains that the
environment must first allow students to feel “physically safe and emotionally secure” (as cited
in Bloemsma, 2013, p. 19). Active engagement in a meaningful learning process means initially
allowing adolescents to feel encouraged and motivated to share and express themselves in a free
manner.
Lei and Gupta describe the traditional classroom as an environment where “students sit
and listen to a lecture on a topic, and take notes, whereas in a technology enhanced classroom,
students interact with computer-based hardware and software” (as cited in Johnson-Smith, 2014,
p. 13). The teacher acts as an “information distributor” in the traditional environment. Students
are “information receivers,” writing down notes from the spoken words of the lecture. Students’
knowledge is then assessed based on the learning they were able to obtain during the lecture and
Laurillard concluded, “[T]he lecture method is neither interactive nor adaptive; it does
not encourage reflection by the student, and only the teacher is able to communicate their
conception. It, therefore, puts a tremendous burden on the students to engage . . .” (as cited in
Jinnah, 2000, p. 15). Students are required to seek their own understanding of the connections,
relationships, and learning between the presented information, background knowledge, and
reflections to be made. This enables increasing opportunities for errors or failures in learning that
Over time, “the changing demographic nature of the student body, shifts in the economy,
and the tremendous potential for technology” have caused educational perspectives to transform
(Johnson-Smith, 2014, p. 14). As a result, the teacher’s role in the classroom has shifted from the
“information distributor” to the facilitator of learning. This has, in turn, transformed the students’
role from “information receivers” to active problem solvers—a position where students conduct
the learning amongst one another, with the assistance of supports such as the teacher-as-
facilitator and technology. With the teacher now in a facilitator position, “teachers are called to
guide the students by asking questions, exploring options, suggesting alternatives, and
encouraging students. The goal of facilitation is to develop students’ capacity for independent
action and responsibility” (Mandracchia, 2015, p. 31-32). By providing students with the
freedom to learn, critical thinking opportunities, and the ability to control the function of their
classes, students will be engaged in more supportive, meaningful, and structured learning
experiences.
With the rapid rise and change in technology, 21st century students are now capable of
learning on an entirely new level. Students require new knowledge at a faster rate and more

integral part of today’s society; thus, educators must employ the influence of technology in
helping students become critical thinkers, communicators, and collaborators” (Tucker, 2017, p.
4). To enable students to apply critical thinking, communication, and collaboration to a future
that revolves around a technology-thriving life and career, students must actively participate in
Engaging students with the support of 1:1 technology devices and tools can create a more
transformative learning experience, compared to how traditional instruction has long taught
students. Philip and Garcia explain that engaging students in inquiry-based learning on the laws
of kinematics “would have taken tedious setup with strobe lights a few decades ago or
specialized computer probes a few years ago. Today, with the ease of a Smartphone, the tedium
of following procedures can give way to deeper conceptual understanding” (as cited in
Robertson, 2015, p. 24). Technology allows students to access a plethora of content and
resources in ways they never could accomplish before the existence of devices such as laptops,
smartphones, and tablets. To ensure students are effectively engaged in a structured and
meaningful learning experience with the support of these technology devices, it is important to
The rise of technology use in the classroom in the 21st century does not simply stop at
technology platforms. 21st century learning is further supported by the use of Web 2.0 tools—the
evolved form of Web 1.0, which simply refers to the highly limited Internet. Light and Polin
explain that Web 2.0 modernizes Web 1.0, allowing learning to become “interactive and
participatory” with “an approach to socially and technologically integrated use of the Internet”
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF 1:1 IPADS 12
(as cited in Wyatt, 2015, p. 22). Web 2.0 allows students to utilize tools, such as iPad
applications, to engage in communication, creation, collaboration, and critical thinking. Web 2.0
tools exist that allow students to seamlessly work in groups, share content, discuss ideas, create
videos and podcasts, and work with content knowledge in a fun, interactive way. The Web 2.0
tools that schools seek to use could affect their choice of technology platform, as certain tools
can operate more effortlessly in conjunction with particular platforms. For example, Google
Apps for Education (GAFE) may be found to operate best on a Google Chromebook laptop and
best achieve a particular school’s goals and mission. No matter the choice of technology
platform or tool, the impact that effective use of today’s technology devices and Web 2.0 tools
As aspiring 1:1 schools work to determine the best technology device to suit their goals
and mission, one popular selection remains to be Apple’s iPad. Carr claims that schools continue
to rave above the iPad ever since its 2010 release due to the expanding educational possibilities
(as cited in Schuetz, 2016). Some of the benefits the iPad provides is its versatility and
release and expand its products largely for iPad compatibility. To reap the many benefits of the
iPad, it is important for teachers to actively integrate the technology into the learning experience
effectively. Teachers must understand and practice the true purpose of the iPad. iPads are not to
be used for the sake of being used in the classroom; instead, iPads should enhance teaching and
learning. When teachers understand how to incorporate the iPad into their classrooms in this
manner, they can aim to effectively engage their students in content-area learning with the
When utilized appropriately and successfully, the iPad can enable students to build
future-ready skills such as the ability to engage in collaboration, communication, creativity, and
critical thinking. The iPad can also enable students to engage with content areas or topics that
can be otherwise difficult to get students interested and interacting. Boyce, Mishra, Halverson,
and Thomas (2014) conducted a study that explored how brick-and-mortar fifth-grade students
interacted with nature when equipped with iPads during a nature hike series. These students had
little-to-no prior experience with nature in a formal or informal way. In general, it can be
challenging to get students interested in the sciences. During the nature hike series, students
utilized iPads as resources to reference information, data collection tools through pictures and
note taking, and interactive tools to create a more eased, seamless experience through actions
such as swiping and pointing. The more comfortable they became with the new experience of
understanding nature, the less they turned to the technology—allowing students to maintain a
The iPads enabled students to be more engaged in the nature hike series and
understanding core science concepts. The iPads allowed students to use tools that improved the
way they obtained new knowledge and ideas. What the iPads did not do is distract students from
the learning process. Hoffman declared that when “a specific academic task with [clear
expectations” is assigned to students using iPads to support their learning, they “[exhibit] far
greater levels of engagement” than they would with the traditional learning experience (as cited

that it is difficult to engage sixth grade students in the learning experience. However, students at

Gone are the days of pure lectures and note taking, as one would find in the traditional
classroom environment. The 21st century demands that teachers act as the facilitator in the
classroom, guiding students "by asking questions, exploring options, suggesting alternatives, and
encouraging students" throughout their journey in the content areas (Mandracchia, 2015, p. 31-

With the knowledge of how to best incorporate 1:1 technologies such as the iPad in the
sixth grade classroom, the learning experience can be made seamless and comfortable for
students. This will encourage their engagement with content topics, including those that tend to
be difficult to understand and interact with for students at this age. With clear objectives and
expectations relayed to students from the start of the lesson, students can be increasingly
engaged in learning experiences supported by the use of 1:1 iPads, compared to the traditional
learning environment (Schuetz, 2016). It all starts with utilizing appropriate pedagogical

who are instructed without a 1:1 technology program in place. The researcher believes successes
in improving levels of student engagement through the 1:1 iPad program may be credited to
teachers utilizing professional development on best practices and students who maintain a great
desire to work hands-on with interactive technologies. Additionally, barriers may include
teachers rejecting technology use and students’ discouragement to work on task with
technologies due to inadequate training and knowledge. The researcher further asserts that

Research Participants
The research participants for this study are sixth grade students (about 50 students) in the
brick-and-mortar, public school environment of Pottsgrove Middle School. These students range
from ages 11 to 12. The research participants for this study also include the entire sixth grade
faculty (about 10 teachers) at Pottsgrove Middle School with varying years of teaching
experience. Students will be evenly selected as best as possible from various socioeconomic and
ethnic statuses.

These scales include the Likert scale, semantic differential scale, and rating scale. These
affective tests will be conducted to measure affective characteristics such as interest and beliefs.
In addition to the cognitive test and affective tests, a questionnaire and interviews will be
conducted. These instruments will collect further data based on faculty and student beliefs,
perceptions, feelings, and experiences related to the various areas of iPad/technology use. The
topics will be related to the 1:1 iPad program and the shift from traditional instruction over the
Achievement Test
An achievement test will be distributed to faculty and students via Google Forms. By
utilizing the Google Forms platform, the researcher will be able to obtain results quickly through
generated reports that can be examined in multiple ways using available technology tools. The
achievement test will include a series of multiple choice, true and false, and matching questions.
The participants will be assessed based on their knowledge and understanding of utilizing iPad
devices and accompanying applications in everyday and educational settings. The researcher will
be able to analyze this collected data and examine the patterns within the results related to these
areas.
