we got our toddler an ipad mini. Shes two. She also can count to 15 knows almost all her abcs and recognizes animals etc that most toddlers dont know yet. mainly because along with her books blocks and puzzles we play the games on the ipad iwth her. If used right its an incredible learning tool. If not it can be destructive. She also doesnt get free reign of it whenever she wants.

Do books no longer get the job done?

im not sure tyler.. i know my kids will read books because other kids read books for learning and not technical devices.

its really all about what your children are exposed to.

i myself was exposed to books, and the occasional kid had a game boy, or something cool that no other kid had and everyone would just play rather than learn.

as long as the kid knows that the ipad is for learning, and not playing.. i think she will be fine.. although from 6-10 years old, kids are very very deceptive.

if your kid was reading books, and doing as stellar as she is now, why change that? i know this probably isnt an easy decision for you and your wife, considering if you put her in this school, and her grades go to shit theres no turning back lol.

but is it worth the risk? i'd say yes.

i just hope she can focus on learning on the ipad rather than being side tracked that shes playing on a gaming device.

(assuming shes been up to this point brought up on books)

yes, this is the correct use, introduce them when they are freshly learning.

if you start off with books, then switch to an ipad or something "fun" and the kid already knows its "fun" it will be futile to even attempt.

then the kid becomes frustrated that they cant play on it, then they stop working, and its a bunch of shit to put up with.

ahh nate, you always say the shit i never think of <3.

I guess the nook gets no love lol

ehh well he only asked about ipad mini and kindle hd..

even then the ipad mini still beats out the nook in all performance reviews.. not to mention the ipad mini lasts 13 hours on wifi.
