I do fear that time will come when all kids will do is check their assignments and things to read via email. No more teachers to write in the blackboards or read stories to kids because a Tablet can do what we teachers can teach in real life.
I do hope that children will still value us and would want use around though they have these high tech gadgets.

I wish it gave more of a breakdown of what the memory cards show.
What I’d really like to see is a breakdown of play/learning time. When given these tablets do they actually sit down with the intention of learning like kids do in a classroom or do they spend 80% of their time playing games and the ‘learning’ part comes from other recreational activities like spelling to browse the web?
