All Kindergarteners getting iPads at a school

 At first, I thought this was an interesting idea with a lot of bonuses for the kids. But after watching the video, I'm not so sure. I don't like the school district's view on using the iPad for teaching purposes, specifically because they believe it will help teach the kids all they need to know.

So much of life needs to be experienced hands-on, not digitally–especially at that young age. It sounds like they're depending on App developers to teach their kids now. They'll probably expect them to aslo finger paint using an iPad app!

What is the world coming to??
