Children would enjoy working with that gadget and learn with it and for us teachers it could become a great resource in class. It will let us know how children are learning and what kind of mistakes they are having, also it will let every child in class to have a voice and not just the outgoing children. Hope we could get one!

This is a great invention!!!! I totally agree in using this kind of tecnology inside the classrooms. How can we get this tecnology for Guatemala? It's helpful for the children in our schools and even for us teachers. As kids are born with it, these kind of tools are part of them. I'm sure it can encourage the habit of reading.
