You watch star-trek, and other films/shows set in the future that show classrooms with tablet like devices? There is something pretty special with the tablet, and the only thing that is changing is really the way input (and less so-output) is done. As a kid, I also remember the power strips for the Apple lab were so janky, that if you accidently kicked it, it would reset the entire bank of computers. Or those old 5 1/2 floppy disks that had exposed magnetic media that tended to get screwed up. Logo-writer, kidpix (omg so great), Hypercard, were foundational to me. But todays children have access to minecraft, and very soon Virtual Reality. There is no way I'd want to force the tools of my education on kids today. I'm so excited for my (soon to be born) child.
