I agree with this. My toddlers have learned a ton playing on the Ipad. I have about 40 educational apps. I think all but 4 of them were free. Also, I can cater to their interests.

I leave my 3 year old daughter alone with the ipad, buy not my 18 month old son. I believe they are somewhat fragile. A friend of mine cracked his screen.

On the other hand, I think my daughter does her best work without me looking over her shoulder.
