Revolutionising Education: The Power of 1:1 iPad Programmes

James’ research, as outlined in the white paper “Are 1:1 iPad programmes worth it?”, explores the effectiveness of 1:1 iPad initiatives in schools. Focusing on the Shaw Education Trust, his study revealed a 370% improvement in student performance when individual iPads were combined with innovative teaching methods like Technology-Enhanced Active Learning (TEAL).

James’ findings challenge scepticism about technology in education, demonstrating that well-implemented iPad programmes can lead to significant academic gains, improved engagement, and cost savings for schools. This research highlights the transformative potential of integrating personalised devices into the classroom.
