Would it help to survey the kids and ask them how/if it has helped?

I would love to hear what others have to say. I've been struggling with this concept.

survey kids after the program....but what do you tell Board you will track

begin with reading/literacy, then problem solving and HOTS

bit to convince the board don't we have to have hard numbers? A survey is more random isn't it?

Track student engagement. See if using devices increase student engagement.

It also helps to pick a specific area of focus like reading. I am elementary so I did fluency. Students recorded themselves reading weekly and we used their improvements as data

If students are blogging you could also track writing. Perhaps with a pre and post writing assessment.

okay playing devil's advocate here. are these things a direct result of using the iPad? could the same results happened if the students had used a Chromebook for a netbook?

sorry....*or, not for

it's not about the device...

it is defining the metric that is difficult....ie. "student engagement"

so you're saying whatever device, project, dog & pony show, that engages students is what we look at?

how would you measure engagement?

my question exactly!
