Abstract This study attempts to present the variety of possible uses for mobile technologies, and iPads in particular, in the learning process. The objective is to evaluate a unique implementation model that was tried out at a teacher training college. The methodology is based on a qualitative research paradigm. The findings show that students use the iPads in various contexts: (a) for ongoing personal use, (b) for planning lessons, (c) for active integration in the classroom, and (d) for creating and developing content and games. These findings are presented in a chart that shows the different uses as levels in a hierarchical taxonomy.
