A typical students attention span lapses about 10 minutes into the lesson.

Nearly 75 percent of teachers surveyed said that the Internet and search engines had a “mostly positive” impact on student research skills and that “such tools had made students more self-sufficient researchers.”

Med students at the University of California Irvine reported scoring 23 percent higher on national exams after being equipped with iPads in class.

 

According to Pearson, more than six in ten college students and high school seniors agree that tablets help students to study more efficiently (66% and 64%) and help them perform better in class (64% and 63%).
