Class, Take Out Your Tablets explores this intersection between technology developments, the role and needs of educators in this technology-skills transfer, and student learning experiences. Through sixteen interviews with educators across Canada and a robust review of existing research, the study evaluates the increased presence of technology in the classroom and explores both the opportunities and challenges to more meaningful technology adoption.
The study details some of the stumbling points of tech in classrooms, such as its potential for student distraction through off-task usage, and unclear procurement practices to source technology, but it also discusses some of the solutions that have been effective in other jurisdictions.
