2. Is there a problem?
Last years, Textbook learning
is the center of teaching
(consumer learning; passive
learning)
but how to create didactical
designs for teaching and for
learning where students
become more active, where
students become a pro-sumer
(activity-driven designs)?

What happens in iPad-
classrooms?
Will the textbook approach
survive, or do the teachers
apply new methods and new
designs, if yes, which ones,
how and why?
3. Study in a municipality in Denmark
6 (of 7) schools (April 2012, Aug 2012, Aug 2013)
•24 Classroom observations (45-90 mins. each)
and interviews with teachers (ca. 60 mins. each)
•Meetings with schools leaders, pedagogical leaders, etc.
= ca. 15 days from 8am-2pm data collections
Range of teaching subjects:
•Danish, Math, English, Art, Physics, Chemistry …
Range of classes
•preschool class to K-9
•10-27 students
Here we present the
classrooms of the innovative
teachers (Rogers 2003)
ECSCW: Teachers are
learners at the workplace!

baby for pupils”
“Finally! Someone got
the vision to think
differently”
Teachers’ attitude towards
technology is special

7. 5 patterns – Rethinking existing didactical
concepts when technology is implemented
7
isa.jahnke@umu.se
1. Innovative iPad-classrooms
Alignment of didactics & technology (5 classes) = ipad-didactics
2. Almost innovative classrooms
(not as strong as in pattern A) (3 classes)
3. Weak alignment of Digital Didactics but learning benefit through
iPad-integration (1 class)
4. A Potential for Digital Didactics, alignment differs & medium/low
extent of iPad-use (4 classes)
5. Applied designs limited learning experiences, re-alignment of a
digital didactical design is required; better without iPads?
(2 classes)

Transformative learning
Transformation of existing “math stories”: students get the task
to create “comics”; using the iPad to create the stories
(App: Strip Designer)

Complex learning
Students read a traditional book and write a book review; using
Bookcreator to make that review, a collection of all reviews made
by the students into one book

Peer-Reflective learning
Students write something
from their childhood and
reflect in peer-reviews their
writing skills using
Facebook; iPads deliver
Internet-Access

11. ID 11 Personalized learning
(individual needs of the learners)
• students design experiments in physics (sound/light);
• other students create a mindmap first
to collect their (non-)knowledge

Learning expeditions 1
•Students search for QR codes,
which lead them to a website
to answer questions about
Grammar (improving writing
skills)
•Combining learning outdoors
and learning in the trad.
classroom
•Meta-reflections about the
process

Learning expeditions 2
Students got the task to explains the other students what a
“verb” , “adjective” and “noun” is
En kjole – kjolen – flere kjolen – alle kjolerene
A dress – to dress – several dresses - all dresses
• App “Explains everything”
• Students created storyboard and
showcase incl. sound and visualization
(product is a brief animated video)
• Small teams “outdoors”
14. Findings – emerged design principles
(1) Focus on action and on (co-)produce sth. –
Focus on learning processes (not exams/test only)
(2) Teachers design new learning goals beyond curriculum
driven goals:
b)explorative learning where more than one correct answer exists,
c)meta-learning: reflection on process
(3) iPad as a “booster” to making learning visible in different
products -- student choice of tasks
(4) Teachers do not use iPads as an exercise tool -- Teachers use
apps primarily not built for education: "Bring your own app"-
metaphor
®Activating students engagement through DOING***

Notes de l'éditeur
It could be that Traditional teaching patterns will be reinforced Classroom will be changed into a creative learning experience Teacher applies new forms of teaching methods like ‘5-mins-didactics’; or other types of ‘microlearning’ Something else happens => Whatever occurs in the classroom, it mainly depends on the teacher (who is embedded into a social environment) a) her/his understanding of learning & didactical plans….
