 * Evaluating a Web-Based iPad Tutorial for Teachers **

With advances in technology, schools are starting to integrate technology into the classroom. However, technology training is not often provided to teachers. This paper describes the results of designing and evaluating a web-based module designed for public school teachers in Hawaii to teach them the basics of using an iPad. All participants showed a gain in their understanding of the iPad functions when administered the post-test. Suggestions were also made for improvement. Data and comments from the participants will be used to revise and modify the module so that when the module is administered to public school teachers, it will be first-rate. Although, creating a tutorial on basic iPad functions does not close the gap between teacher training and advances in technology, this tutorial was created to familiarize users with the iPad so that later they can eventually use the iPad in different capacities.
