2. A Review of the Literature
Bonnet & Agrawal, 2011
3. Research
• Handheld devices can leverage the power of
technology to enable all students to succeed (Gulchak,
2008).
• There is a direct correlation between the amount of
student learning and personal development and the
student involvement in the program (Astin, 1985).
• Teachers in this generation are more aware of the
motivational benefits from using technology in special
education (Rao, Dowrick, Yuen, & Boisvert, 2009).
• Due to the ubiquitous adoption of mobile devices in
our society, mobile technology offers a contextual and
authentic medium for learning (Fisher & Baird, 2007).
4. Research ((continued)
• In a study done in a graduate level History class, Vess
(2006) found that the use of iPod created a learner-
centered environment, created continuous engagement,
and active learning along with a strong sense of
community.
• Video iPod was found to be an effective instructional tool in
increasing independent responding of an individual with
developmental disabilities in a community based
employment setting. This also led to decrease in outside
prompting (Laarhoven et al. 2009).
• iPods were used with 8th grade literature classes. It was
found that students developed deeper understanding of
the concepts taught, were actively engaged and happy
(Bauleke, & Herrmann, 2010).
