6. Student comments
I really like receiving
the feedback in this
way because I can
see exactly what
they are referring to.
Taking a picture of the
display and being able
to annotate it is quick
and easy and a really
good way to give
feedback.

It feels very modern and
hi-tec to give feedback in this
way, which reflects how we are
supposed to be in the classroom
and the sorts of modes of
learning and peer feedback
we could incorporate into our
lessons.

7. Project Evaluation
We are currently evaluating the project.
• How the iPads can increase staff and student engagement?
• How the iPads impact on teaching, learning and
assessment?
• How the iPads enhance group work and collaborative
learning activities?
• How the use of iPads can be mapped against areas of YSJU
TEL Quality Framework
