Thank you for participating in our study of student teachers' use of iPads this semester. During last semester, you were provided with an iPad to use both personally and professionally. To help us understand how tools like iPads may enhance your upcoming student teaching, we'd like to get your feedback about your experiences so far.


Your answers in this survey are not anonymous because we're interested in charting changes during student teaching. Your responses will not influence your instructors or your student teaching experience. Please answer as honestly and completely as you can. You are probably a member of an extremely small set of students who were able to use iPads during their student teaching this year. Please share your expertise with us! We expect that it will take between 10 and 15 minutes to complete this survey.
Instructions: Please complete each item based on your experiences using an iPad during your student teaching experience.
