Tablets are mobile technology that offers students a more stimulating experience with portable, engaging, and interactive tools. Although tablets are increasingly being integrated into K-12 classrooms, it will be impractical if teachers do not apply the right teaching methods for tablet integration into the curriculum. The question of how to create an effective technology training program for teachers to deploy tablets into a K-12 classroom curriculum remains largely unanswered. This research will develop a teacher training plan which explicitly considers teacher's tablet skills and incorporates those skills to help them create a tablet-based course. An action design research study will be used to develop teacher training program for two secondary schools in Thailand. Assessment of trainees' curricula, observation of learning activities during training, and feedback on the training will be used to refine the training plan.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
