Post from Mississippi State University Extension Center for Technology Outreach about purchasing tablets for children: Tablets can be fun, educational gifts – by Mariah Smith
Tablets as Fun, Educational Gifts for Children
True. I like tablets as an innovative educational tool because of how they can make video useful for learning…and mobile too. Students are magnetized to them and can team up around a tablet for learning. Teachers can use them for professional development too, watching videos from http://UniversityWebinars.org or YouTube. Definitely an innovation to help learning.
