Digital Didactical Designs in iPad-Classrooms

Traditionally, Information and Communication Technology ICT "has been segregated from the normal teaching classroom" [12], e.g. in computer labs. This has been changed with the advent of smaller devices like iPads. There is a shift from separating ICT and education to co-located settings in which digital technology becomes part of the classroom. This paper presents the results from a study about exploring digital didactical designs using iPads applied by teachers in schools. Classroom observations and interviews in iPad-classrooms in Danish schools have been done with the aim to provide empirical evidence on the co-evolutionary design of both, didactical designs and iPads. The Danish community Odder has 7 schools where around 200 teachers and 2,000 students aged 6-16 use iPads in a 1:1 iPad-program. Three key aspects could be explored: The teachers' digital didactical designs embrace a new learning goals where more than one correct answer exists, b focus on producing knowledge in informal-in-formal learning spaces, c making learning visible in different products text, comics, podcasts etc.. The results show the necessity of rethinking traditional Didaktik towards Digital Didactics.
