The iPad Gets Educational

With the launch of the iPad tablet in April 2010, companies rushed to create cool apps for it. Already a fun tool for distracting kids during long car rides, the iPad will go educational in 2011. "I see the continued development of age-appropriate apps for kids," says Leticia Barr, a technology expert who writes the Tech Savvy Mama blog. "Trusted names with great reputations for providing educational content, like PBS Kids and Scholastic, will keep developing high-quality mobile content to enhance learning on the go."
