Introduction
Review Of The Literature 2

This is one of the articles that have been written to tackle some of the issues that are

related to technology. There has been a major rate of technological advancements in the recent

times. In this article, the use of iPads and its effects have been considered adequately. This has

been realized in the classwide interventions of the increase in the completion of tasks that are

independently achieved. This is a research that was performed by a group of seven students who

had been found to be suffering from autism disorder of spectrum. Apart from this, the article has

also focused on some of the merits and the demerits of using the iPad in doing most of the

instructions in the classroom setting. Through the iPads, most of them were able to perform some

of the basic mathematical instructions that are there.

Aims of the articles

The article has been able to address some of the issues concerning the problem stated.

The writers have ensured that they have fulfilled the aims of this article. Some of the aims that

have been fulfilled include the following. One of the most important one is how the use of iPads

has enhanced various skills required in the whole process of mathematical study. Its use has been

able to improve the mathematical skills that the students have required in the school setting.

Another issue that has been achieved by this article is the issue of reducing non-compliant

behavior through the intervention of the iPad. Another aim that has been achieved by this article

is that of asserting and proving how much iPad has contributed in order to ensure that some of

the independent tasks are completed.

Article methodology

The article has also used various methodologies to ensure that it is able to come up with

the required data that will be crucial in the whole process of research. There was a very crucial
Review Of The Literature 3

use of questionnaire which was mostly prepared and filled by the various students. In this

questionnaire, the correct data was provided concerning this particular population was provided.

There were also surveys that were done by the researchers (O'Malley, Lewis, Donehower, and

Stone, 2014). There were three surveys that had been conducted to take care of the levels of

access and the application of issues of technology. Two of these were completed by the teachers

as per this article. The article was therefore able to gain much information on issues to do with

the use of technology in the various households. The article also presents how the methodologies

were able to aid in knowing the technological ability of the children.

Presentation of data

The article has also provided for some of the analysis techniques that were used to ensure

that the data was easily understood and well analyzed. The article writers ensured that they were

able to use both the traditional and modern techniques of data analysis that is a very crucial effort

in the work. They have employed the use of visual comparison of points for the data to be fully

gauged (Hawkins, Collins, Hernan and Flowers, 2017). This is made possible through the use of

conditional studies in most cases. This technique ensures that the baseline of the classwide phase

has been recognized and determined. Through it, various people have been able to use the

graphical display time series. This is also evaluated by the application of the visual analysis. This

means that they are also able to examine some of the data patterns such as those between and

within the available patterns. The data has therefore been correctly determined and fully

analyzed to the acceptable standards.

Discussion of the findings

Review Of The Literature 4

The findings that have been able to be written here have been done in a very pleasing and

very lenient manner. All the information provided in the findings is all true and can be seen in the

normal life situations. This can even be seen in the advantages and disadvantages of using the

iPads in the school settings (Van der Meer et al., 2015). Some of the true advantages are that the

iPads are able to modify different instructions and thus will favor those students who have no

knowledge pertaining to the same issue. The same case is seen in some of the highlighted

disadvantages such as the use of high level of support required during the whole process of iPad

interventions. This means that the staff must be prepared to have some additional training levels

in the classroom. This will enable them to handle any issue that might be related to use of iPad.

The findings are therefore true to the best of my knowledge and therefore this is a great work.

Conclusion

In recap, the issues that have been handled in this article have been of great significance.

Most of them have been able to be applied in the normal global spheres. This is because

technology and its application has been a very crucial step in making the world a better place to

be. I therefore conquer with everything that has been discussed and presented in this article. The

article has articulated issues in the best way possible (Ying et al., 2016).
