In our district pretty soon every student will have an iPad with their books downloaded onto their pad. At the elementary level we are currently using them for educational purposes with games. There are a lot of great educational apps out there with great games for learning time, math, reading, and spelling. And some of them are really great!<br>Everything in moderation, but I think if your son is already familiar with this technology it could be a great thing for him.heidibirdhttp://momandboy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7013162994458639471.post-21606156989386809802012-05-22T05:05:08.000-07:002012-05-22T05:05:08.000-07:00It's great to hear from a teacher!

He has three book apps (Freight Train, It's a Small World, and Curious George), three language apps (all French), a Sesame Street app, and a few numbers apps. <br><br>I agree with your moderation comment. He uses the IPAD maybe 3 times a week and he can only use it for 5 minutes. So, he typically can read a couple of books or look through some French flash cards or play a number game. <br><br>When I turn it off, sometimes he looks up at me, as if to say, "Really? I'm using this." Other times, he jumps off of my lap and plays with whatever is on the floor.Oster's Momhttp://discoveranddevour.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
