      So, if a computer game or "edutainment" product doesn't follow the critera of a-f, is it ineffective and a waste of time? Still no studies show evidence to support the games' effectiveness.

    This site is a blog where different people explain how the think iPads will influence or impact the future. Many of the topics being discussed are the changes that are happening such as the trends and spending due to how iPads are starting to influence classrooms because they are everywhere now. Also some are explaining that as technology use is going up not only outside of the classroom but in the classroom as well that it may be harder for children to sit through classes that have any lecture type style of teaching and that teachers may need to start changing their styles of teaching.
