School Administrators' Use of iPads: Impact of Training and Attitudes toward School Use
Dogan, Bulent; Almus, Kadir
Computers in the Schools, v31 n3 p233-250 2014
As Apple iPads are increasingly being adopted in schools for educational purposes, school administrators are seen as the key facilitators in the implementation of this new technology. This survey-based quantitative study investigated the impact of receiving iPad training on school administrators' attitudes towards iPad use in their professional lives and in the classroom by teachers. The participants consisted of 51 elementary and secondary school administrators in one of the largest public charter school systems in a southwestern state. School administrators reported that iPads were effective tools for administrative tasks and personal organization. Results also suggest that school administrators in this study had positive views regarding the potential of iPads' current and future use in the classroom by teachers. Furthermore, the training process had a positive effect on the school administrators' development of iPad skills and knowledge.
