This report includes a review of the effectiveness of the following initiatives in the 2011‐12 school year:Rosetta StoneLanguage!Read 180 iPad PilotOverall, we found that Rosetta Stone, Language!, and Read 180 were more effective for students needing the most intensive intervention than other students performing below or at grade level. We also found that teachers who participated in the iPadpilot during the 2011‐12 school year believed that teaching and learning was enhanced by using tablet technology.

Rosetta Stone is a computer‐based software designed to help users learn a new language.This program is used in Lodi USD to assist students in learning / improving English language skills primarily in grades K thru 6.Students with a California English Language Development Test (CELDT) level of Beginning or Early Intermediate (1 or 2) were recommended for participation, along with CELDT Intermediate (level 3) students as determined by individual sites.

Rosetta Stone was more effective at helping all students at the Far Below Basic level increase by one CST level than students not using Rosetta Stone.However, Far Below Basic students not using Rosetta Stone were more likely to increase by two or more CST levels than students using Rosetta Stone.

Additionally, Far Below Basic students who previously scored at CELDT Level 1 or 2, and used Rosetta Stone, were more likely to increase CST levels compared to their counterparts who did not use Rosetta Stone.

Page 27: CST English Language Arts Rosetta Stone Elementary Students · PDF file1 CST English Language Arts Results Rosetta Stone ... Level 1 or 2, and used Rosetta Stone, were more likely

Six classrooms were given class sets of iPads to use during the 2011‐12 school year in an effort to increase student achievement:4 elementary classrooms, including 1 combination classroom1 middle school History‐Social Science classroom1 high school English Language Arts classroom 

Feedback was obtained from the teachers as part of a qualitative review of the impact of 1‐to‐1 tablet technology upon teaching and learning.

Teacher Observed Instructional Benefits:Highly engaging for students of all abilitiesAble to differentiate curriculum for differing needsResearch opportunities at each child's fingertips at the same time‐ no waiting for shared books or classroom computers, no waiting for lab spot once a weekAllows for quick differentiation of instruction and for more targeted teaching. Interactive apps allow:  Teachers to observe the students’ learning and make modifications as necessary. Students to have text read to them giving them access to the core instruction. Tracking of student progress, which increases the student accountability and again allows for modifications in instruction.

Teacher Observed Impact on Student Success: Several apps give immediate feedback and show improvement. (AR, RocketMath, Spelling City)With the differentiation available, students are able to experience success at their own instructional level.We have been able to get accurate, up to date, information instantly. This has helped my EL students who often need help building background knowledge. Students often come into class on their own time to use them which has increased their daily practice/drill time.

Teacher Observed Implementation Successes: Students were highly engaged Students learned how to use iPads very quickly. Students’ time on task on has increased.Using the “Personal iPad Time” (free time) apps, students were able to access curriculum in music, arts, science, and social science in addition to reading and math. Students had a greater opportunity to pursue their own interests and learning.

Teacher Observed Implementation Challenges:The syncing protocol (iPad set up) is an involved process and takes time.Making sure the students are always working on the assigned task can be difficult.Everything keeps changing/improving at a rapid pace, and you have to work at constantly staying informed. It’s a bit frightening to be responsible for the high cost of these easily portable devices.Restrictions on how iPads could be used‐many apps could not be used due to district network restrictions
