Or, perhaps this study should seek to determine if those using iPads performed better WITH the device as opposed to without it?

Purchasing the iPads was the easy part. Managing them is another matter. Dean Shareski says that “iPads are meant to be owned, not managed.” I think he is correct, but managing them still needs to be done for my grade one students. Managing them is the nuts and bolts that makes our iPad classroom run.
