Educators and school administrators must understand the nuanced difference between the iPad as a tool to teach students and the iPad as a tool to help students think. Many teachers know that technology integration in the classroom constitutes a slew of difficulties, leading to technological avoidance (also known as technological anxiety), so integrating the iPad in classrooms can be met with some resistance. However, the benefits will likely surprise the educational community and outweigh the natural challenges. Having an open mind towards this ongoing learning process is imperative. Understanding how to navigate the iPad’s mobile Operating System (OS) (or iPadOS) is as essential as developing a Depth of Knowledge when finding English language learning apps. Learning everything an app offers will determine the level of academic achievement, whether it is exponential or nominal. However, sustainable professional development opportunities must be provided to make this a reality.
