A Cross-Panel PBL Initiative
Our Results | Assumptions
In engaging both Elementary and
Secondary students through this
cross-panel initiative, we assumed
that students would be more
engaged in curricular content
through the use of mobile
technologies.

Our Results | Findings
Our Findings showed that as this initiative
incorporated mobile technologies (such as the
MCS 2.0 Laptops and iPads), student engagement
rose.
!
Here, a key piece was uncovered. Whereas the
MCS 2.0 Laptops allow for an enriched and robust
digital creation process, engaging students with
the iPads allowed for a much richer experience in
not only content creation but also content
consumption.
!
With this, the user interface and tactile experience
offered by the iPad allowed students to delve
“into” the work/content as they swiped and taped
through the Science Curriculum.
