I want one

After yesterdays Play Time and lecture I have decided that I want an Ipad. I have an old Ipod touch but after seeing all the apps for Ipads I see now why so many people have them. There are so many options and opportunities that arise from having one. For example:
My Mum works in Family Day Care and is always after different ways to engage her 4 year olds (and the interested younger ones) in learning. An Ipad would provide a great ingaging tool for the kids, especially 'Bugs and Bubbles' and any adventure related apps because the kids love lose sort of activities.
The bonous to apps is that they are continuing to develop more and more everyday. This means that is near an endless supply of opportunities to get young children engaged in learning, and fun is always the best way to go. Of course the use of this technology would need to be regulated so that children stay on task, don't look at things they're not meant to, and don't spend all day on the technology.
In a classroom, Ipads could be used as part of a reward system, something for fast workers to work on, or assist learners that are struggling with comprehending certain concepts. For example:
Students that arn't fond of maths, or find it hard to concentrate are given opportunites to use math based apps to help develop their math knowledge and understanding. What starts as a way of developing their math skills can then become their reward for completeing math tasks without the Ipad.
Ipad provide so many opportunites, and I can see then becoming part of every classroom as learning assistance tools.
