AppleInsider | University study finds students with Apple's iPad perform better than peers | The 21st Century | Scoop.it

Students using the Apple's iPad for their studies have been found to score higher than their paper-based peers and enjoy higher efficiency, according to a new study.

Now, I wonder if there are more variables involved here rather than the simple fact these people used iPads? What about SES and/or level of education? Might it be that those using iPads are from a higher SES than those not, which means they probably already scored better than many of their peers? Or, perhaps this study should seek to determine if those using iPads performed better WITH the device as opposed to without it?

You know, statistics show that days when more ice cream is eaten more people die, but is it the ice cream that is killing them? lol ;-)
