This article gives some very good points when it comes to using technology in the classroom. I noticed that they seem to be starting children younger and younger on using it in the classroom as well. Many children may benefit from using these ipads and such because of the fact that there are so many different types of learning styles. According to the article, there are many different types of programs as well as apps to download to help the children. The most useful part of these ipads is the fact that you can download programs to specifically benefit certain children and the things they may be struggling with in the classroom or may need more help with. I believe, as a teacher, I would absolutely want these in my classroom to help the children get the upper advantage to learning by any means possible. Not to mention the fact that children are on Ipads, Ipods and cell phones at a younger age than ever. My friends one year old little boy learned how to unlock his mother's iphone and I just found that unbelievable, but after this article not so much.
