Keeping Up With Kids

Ashley from Rice Lake sent in this photo and explanation a few weeks ago–if you are considering using an iPad this way, Ashley is a good person to talk to!

Our docked iPad, above, has about 40 free educational apps on it so far.  At first we had a lot of kids just using the camera, but now they are trying other apps.  It’s amazing how even when the parent says they have little “screen time” or touch screens at all at home, kids seem to intuitively figure out how to make it work.  We have the Internet locked down since we require kids under 18 to have an Internet permission slip signed.
