Harrison, Taylor R.; Lee, Hollylynne S. – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2018
Over the last several years, iPads have become increasingly popular in the classroom. The number of available apps that could be used in the mathematics classroom are countless, but some make better mathematical learning tools than others. This research presents a set of sixteen criteria that can be used to evaluate the potential of an iPad app to…

Sibanyoni, Nhlanhla A.; Alexander, Patricia M. – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2018
In theory, educational applications that are engaging and motivating should easily persuade learners to use a mobile device for studying. Since this technology is already familiar to learners, mobile learning should be easily accessible; given a suitable m-learning application, learners could practice mathematics anytime or anywhere. LevelUp is an…

Atanga, Comfort; Jones, Beth A.; Krueger, Lacy E.; Lu, Shulan – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2020
Assistive technology (AT) helps bridge the gap between students with learning disabilities (LD) and their peers without LD. However, this implies a need for teachers to become well-trained and proficient in the use of AT. There are established AT competencies for educators, and AT services professionals must be knowledgeable about AT to select and…

Tucker, Steven; Shumway, Jessica F.; Moyer-Packenham, Patricia S.; Jordan, Kerry E. – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2016
Teachers increasingly use virtual manipulatives and other apps on touch-screen devices (e.g., "iPads") in an effort to help students understand mathematics concepts. However, students experience these apps and their affordances in different ways. The purpose of this article is to inform teachers' decisions about app implementation in the…

Pombo, Lúcia; Marques, Margarida M. – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2019
Mobile devices are being intensively used by the Portuguese youth in their daily life, but not in school activities. Despite this gap, research shows that technology can promote student learning in non-high education contexts. This paper comprises a survey study where mobile learning is analyzed through the eyes of 244 students attending the 2nd…
