Report says giving iPads to Auburn kindergartners increases test scores — Education — Bangor Daily News — BDN Maine:

AUBURN, Maine — Kindergartner David Hall worked on math on his iPad Wednesday morning.

Playing “Feed the Hippos Hot Peppers,” the Sherwood Heights Elementary pupil counted aloud as his fingers moved peppers into a hippo’s mouth.

Early test results of kindergarten pupils like David who used iPads for nine weeks last fall — compared to kindergartners who did not — show the iPads pupils did better, according to an Auburn School Department report released Wednesday.
