    This study was done at a high school and the evidence showed that doing group activities, discussions, etc. on a SMART Board is an effective tool. Although this was conducted at a high school, the evidence may correlate to all age groups in activities where the entire class works as a whole.

    This article provides another view on the cost effectiveness and the uselfulness that the iPad provides in all classrooms, especially for autistic students. It describes a pilot research study that proved to support integrating the iPad into special education curriculums because of the wide range of uses and tools it provides. One of the main points the researcher argued is that the iPad has multiple uses and can replace the many devices that are apparent in special education programs.

  • When a student can be so engaged and motivated, this type of learning tool becomes an important part of the curriculum. Clegg (1991) pointed out the most important predictor of learning is the instructional context and not necessarily the actual game, but the collaborative and cooperative learning built into the overall experience, offering an engaging environment for information assimilation.
  • Games create competitive and collaborative situations making learning fun and engaging; meeting the many needs of the students (Weiss & Loebbeck, 2008). During the early grades, teachers spend up to eight hours with their students each day; they could utilize the interactive and social aspects in games in order to realize additional learning in the classroom and use it to support other subjects (Klopfer, Osterweil, & Salen, 2009).

    This is a persuasive essay detailing the positive effects of a controlled setting with laptop use in classes. Having a small number of laptops and placing the students in groups would allow the laptops to be used in a controlled setting with laptop time being much more valuable having to share with other students. Having one laptop per group would allow the laptop to be a tool of necessity rather than entertainment.

    This source offers a different perspective on plagiarism detection methods, arguing that they cause more harm than good. Students become better at cheating by finding ways around these barrier. In addition to this, there is an atmosphere of fear in classroom, even for those who haven't plagiarized. Instead, teachers should focus on teaching preventative measures, like how to properly cite and research.
