iPod Usage
• StudyWiz• Appraise• Various applications to enhance lesson plans• Podcasts for AP review sessions
![Page 10: Powering Up Mobile Learning](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815ff6550346895dcef53b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Decision Making Prior to Implementation
• Should iPods stay in the classrooms, or should students take them home?
• How do we handle stolen or damaged iPods?• What iPod policies should we establish for all
students?• How can we convert to a Wireless building?• How will iPods supplement classes?
![Page 11: Powering Up Mobile Learning](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815ff6550346895dcef53b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Advantages of Using iPods
• Portable, interactive, and small equipment• Less desk space required compared to laptops• Information access for students anytime• Textbook access being made available• Greater opportunities for students to apply their
knowledge and expertise• Increased motivation for learning• Increased efficiency (For example, students have
instant access to information when they are absent.)

Impact of iPods on Student Motivation
• Students were given a motivation survey before and after the implementation of iPods.
• 90% of students reported being motivated before implementation of iPod pilot. . . .The number increased to 100% after the pilot.
• 38% of students reported looking forward to going to class before the implementation of iPod pilot. . . .The number increased to 60% after the implementation.

Powering up Mobile Learning
May 18, 2010
![Page 19: Powering Up Mobile Learning](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815ff6550346895dcef53b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
mLearning is ubiquitous access
![Page 20: Powering Up Mobile Learning](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815ff6550346895dcef53b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
History of Project K-Nect
• In February 2000, Governor Jim Hunt and President Clinton announced the broadband Internet access initiative.
• Qualcomm’s founder Irwin Jacobs pledged US$1M towards the project along with several other telecommunication providers
• Project K-Nect is the direct result of the funding pledged by Qualcomm for this initiative announced in February 2000.
• In addition to $1M received from Qualcomm, Project K-Nect has also received approximately $750K in in-kind contributions
![Page 21: Powering Up Mobile Learning](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815ff6550346895dcef53b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Why Project K-Nect• The average science score of U.S. students in
eighth grade lagged behind those in 16 of 30 countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development*
• U.S. students in eighth grade were further behind in math, trailing counterparts in 23 countries*
• Employment in science and engineering will increase about 70% faster than the rate for all occupations (BLS, 2006), and unemployment is very low for experienced engineers (1.3%) and computer scientists (2.7%)as compared to the national average(4.4%) (BLS, 2006).

Why Project K-Nect
• Research initiated with US Department of Education, Office of Education Technology, to investigate how technology can be maximized to increase student achievement in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)
• Interviewed students in the DC Metropolitan area in grades 9-12 from DC, Arlington, Montgomery County and Fairfax
• Students were asked a series of questions concerning why they felt so disengaged in Science and Math
![Page 27: Powering Up Mobile Learning](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815ff6550346895dcef53b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Why do you dislike math and science?
• The subject matter is abstract• I do not understand how I will use this in the
real world• The delivery methods for instruction cause me
to “power down” my brain• Instructional resources are not engaging
![Page 28: Powering Up Mobile Learning](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815ff6550346895dcef53b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
How can technology help?
• I would like access to manipulatives and more use of multimedia in these subjects
• I want to see the cause and effect relationships that exist through multimedia
• I want to have access to a support network of students, teachers and tutors anytime, anywhere.
• I want to be able to utilize social networking technologies (instant messaging and blogging)

Research Results - 2007Quantitative
• 4 out of the 4 cohort Project K-Nect Algebra I classes outperformed the other Algebra classes taught by the same teachers on the NC End of Course Exam (EOC) for Algebra I
• All 4 cohort Project K-Nect classes outperformed the other Algebra classes taught by the same teachers with their final grades
• 2 of the 4 teachers reported that students achieved at least a 10% gain in Algebra I over their peers as a result of the program
• The aggregate gain of all 4 cohorts between the pre-test and post-test administered by the research team was 20%
Qualitative
• Students’ report using the phone for at least an hour everyday to complete their Algebra work
• Students reported increased parental support with their instruction in Algebra.
• Students reported increased communication and collaboration with their teachers
• Students reported increased communication and collaboration with their peers regarding questions they had regarding their homework assignments
• Students felt supported by the project team and their teacher for communicating via the device for remote support
• Students reported a better understanding of the mathematics because of real world applications associated with the curriculum
• Students indicated that because they had continuous access to mathematical resources on the mobile device, their instructional time dedicated to Algebra significantly increased
