Education Magazine Picks Up IPad Story
The Digital Directions blog on the Education Week website is running a Bangor Daily News story about iPad use among kindergartners, featuring comments from UMaine researchers Bonnie Blagojevic and Mary Ellin Logue. Blagojevic, a research associate at UMaine’s Center for Community Inclusion and Disability Studies, said the iPad can be a game-changer for education, but there needs to be balance and intentionality in its use. Logue, an associate professor of early childhood education, was quoted as saying the iPad can help children think deeper but should not be used as a substitute for teaching or play.
