Been to town and bought a ipad 4 for the minded children

Just downloaded a load of apps for them and had a play on the apps Grin

What's the problem? Assuming proper monitoring/supervision etc there are tonnes of great apps both educational and fun. Schools are starting to use them too. Dd1 loves ours and we have lots of fun playing it together.

Mortified - there are lots of educational apps, it's not all Angry Birds.

My reception age charge's school have them for use in the classroom. They were doing phonics on them on Wednesday morning.

Mortified - I am a nanny - and have on ocassion (very rarely) let my charge play on my tablet.

What are your objections? :)

Um, why Mortified?

Hope you arent my CM.

Excuse me for asking how much did it cost? How will you monitor who plays on it and how long etc. Will you need to ask permission from the parents.

It sounds like a good idea.

Sorry for questioning you as the ipad is kinna new to me.

Thank you
