Today I got to spend some time with a kindergarten class setting up iPads. Their teacher and I thought we would see how far we could get with the students on the set up process. We were pleasantly surprised at how well they followed instructions correctly. Keep in mind that this is only the second week of school and most of them are barely five! Also, they don't know how to read yet so you have to give them directions like, "tap the blue word" or " tap on the small word that has the letter B". But bless their hearts, they kept up with us and the majority could type in their user name and password from a card that we gave them. Many of the students had never used an iPad before and their natural aptitude for technology is unbelievable. What will these digital citizens be like in sixth grade? I hope I can keep up!
