In the three years since the iPad was first introduced, there has been a rapid uptake of iPads and
other ‘Post-PC’ tablet devices in schools both in the UK and globally. Enormous investment is being
made, but do we have the evidence to support this show of faith?
The adoption and integration of tablet devices into school systems is not without its controversies,
and the purpose of this report is to explore if we know enough to demonstrate if, how and when
iPads support learning. Our aim is to identify key ideas from the literature on the effective use of
iPads and other ‘Post-PC’ tablet devices, to discuss the implications of tablet technologies for school
leaders, network managers, teachers, learners and their parents, and to set this within the wider
global context. The term ‘Post-PC’ tablet is used to encompass the plethora of new-look mobile
tablet devices.
