    This journal article reviews a study that examined how 51 school administrators in a large charter school system used iPads for professional duties before and after training. The study collected data through surveys administered before and after workshops, online resources, and ongoing support provided training on using iPads and iPad applications. The results of the study found that the training process impacted how administrators used iPads and their beliefs about how teachers should use iPads in the classroom. The training increased administrators' use of iPads and changed their views on appropriate classroom uses of the technology. The conclusions were that professional development is important for administrators to act as instructional leaders in technology integration and implementation.

    Participants:
    51 elementary and secondary school administrators in one of the largest
    public charter school systems in a southwestern state.
    Procedures:
    In order to determine potential impacts in this area, a research study
    involving a training process, which included workshops, online
    resources, and ongoing support, was designed.

    Data Collection Methods/Data Source:


    o Participants in this study were contacted by email through the
    school systems central office, after securing approvals from the
    school district and the university.
    o Participants were asked to complete consent forms prior to the
    study as required by the school district and the universitys
    Institutional Review Board (IRB).
    Data Analysis:
    o Researchers developed two survey instruments as a mechanism to
    collect data, which were administered online through the survey
    submission system hosted at the universitys server.
    o Instruments were reviewed for face validity by two education
    faculty members and then were piloted using a group of school
    administrators in a local school district.
    o Surveys were finalized after the feedback on the pilot versions.
    Demographic information collected on the pre-survey included
    age, years of experience as a school administrator, years of
    experience in education, highest degree earned, school
    classification, and school size.

    The data analysis of this study is categorized into five main groups:

    o impacts of the training process on school administrators use of
    iPad and iPad applications;
    o impacts of the training process on school administrators beliefs
    regarding how teachers should use iPads in the classroom;
    o differences in participants responses by their demographic and
    contextual data (gender, age, years of experience in school
    administration and education, highest degree attained, school
    classification, and school size);
    o Evaluation of training process.
    DISCUSSIONS
    Conclusions/Implications (for your profession):

    o How school administrators used iPad and iPad applications in their


    professional duties before and after training,
    o How teachers should use iPads in the classroom, differences in
    participants responses by demographic and contextual data, and
    evaluation of the training process.

    REFLECTIONS
    Students Reflections (changes to your understanding; implications for your
    school/work):

    As states on article the school administrators play a vital role in the


    implementation of new technologies, and they are widely regarded as
    the instructional leaders of their schools.
    After reading the articles I comprehended that without technologies it is
    hard to teach, technology makes teaching much easier, and also makes
    communication faster between staff members.
