The talk provides parents with the latest research on the role of iPads in children鈥檚 development so that they can make informed decisions on how to incorporate iPads into their children鈥檚 lives.

Adam Dub茅 studies how deep conceptual understanding is acquired and applied. To this end, he investigates how educational technology augments the learning process. Does the tactile nature of tablet computers constitute a 鈥榟ands-on鈥� interaction and is it a formative factor in tablet computer learning? Is 3D printing a viable method for learning about the construction of everyday objects? Are games able to simultaneously entertain and educate? If so, how does learning within a game occur and does it change how the content is understood? His work also investigates conceptually-based problem solving in the area of simple mathematics. Not only a core knowledge area and interesting in its own right, mathematics provides a broad but organized system for modelling conceptually-based problem solving.
