I'm not a fan of the tablets in the classroom. I feel like they are a distraction. All the kids ask is, when are they going to get to play on the tablet. I can see that they could be useful, especially in centers in lower grades. Using the tablets as a reward may be ok, but using them solely to teach is not a good idea. You can't be looking over every child to make sure they are actually working while you're teaching. If you don't have a full classroom set, the kids argue over them. If i had a classroom with these, i would make it work with interactive learning apps. Overall, a classroom with these devices would be a minus for me.
