"The Franklin Academy High School implemented a 1:1 iPad deployment a the beginning of the 2010-2011 school year. Over the course of the next two school years, the pilot was expanded to include all grades 9-12 in the high school. This deployment has reached 475 high school students and all teaching staff. Our K-8 program deployed iPads across the grade levels in the form of class sets and mobile carts.
This study targeted our 1:1 deployment at the high school to investigate the impact the device has had on teaching and learning. The survey used to gather the student data was administered in April of 2014. Students included in the survey used the device anywhere from 1 to 4 years. The students use the iPad while at school and home."
The Franklin Academy (located in Wake Forest, NC) began a laptop initiative four years ago. Te@chThought has just published their four year study and review which focuses on Student Use and Behavior. You can access a pdf and download the report from the site.
You can find more information about the initiative as well as information from previous years and a detailed visual that looks at the four years using the following categories on the Franklin Academy High School iPad Initiative Wiki

If your school is considering an iPad initiative (or a 1-to-1 initiative) you may find valuable information as you read through the the report and the Wiki.
