How do teachers benefit from using iPads in the classroom?
Teachers can use digital teaching methods to respond individually to the different learning types and levels of their students—without needing the technical expertise of a system integrator. Digital teaching materials relieve teachers in selected phases of the lesson.
1. Do students learn better with the iPad?
In an iPad class, greater learning gains can be achieved than in a class without iPads if the iPad's ability to provide individual feedback is utilized. Rapid feedback has a strong positive influence on learning. Controlled studies have shown that iPad-based feedback is most effective at the end of a preparatory phase. Learners are better prepared for the subsequent group work, can prepare experiments independently, and are better able to classify what they have seen. The test groups demonstrate significantly more subject knowledge in tests than the control groups.
2. Can disabled students be supported?
Accessibility features for disabled students are built into the iPad to ensure accessibility, e.g., the screen reader function that can read text content aloud but also describes what you are currently touching with your finger.

How do students benefit from iPads in the classroom?
Students receive more attention because teachers can better respond to their individual needs. With the help of appropriate apps, students can determine their own learning method (video, audio, or text) and learning pace.

Teach and learn in the same way that students live. Today's students are familiar with and value mobile devices, which are therefore a major motivating factor for them. And as educators know, higher motivation leads to better performance.

Technology and learning complement each other perfectly. When technology is mobile, educators can bring it directly to their students. This eliminates the need to develop schedules for using computer rooms as well as the time-consuming trip to the computer room.

Learning – anytime, anywhere. Mobile IT solutions enable teaching and learning beyond the classroom and traditional school hours. Students can learn wherever their project takes them.

Eine kosteneffektive Lösung. Mobile Technologie stellt geringere Anforderungen an die Infrastruktur und kostet weniger als die Ausstattung von Computerräumen.
5
Communication between teachers and students is taken to a whole new level. If you don't understand something in class, you can catch up on the material at home at your own pace, as the content is available on your tablet. You can also interact with your teacher after class.
How do school administrators benefit from iPad classes?
School authorities benefit from modern technological equipment that functions reliably and securely. Maintenance requirements are manageable. Follow-up costs are low. With Bechtle, school authorities have a reliable partner and advisor at their side for all IT matters.
