I hear you about this one! I don't understand how someone could concentrate on learning/reading when sugar rush in the form of apps and web browsing is available one click away...
One possibility to remove the negatives of the distractions but keep the benefits of the tablet (e.g. digital content, interactivity, video lessons) is to install an offline learning app like Kolibri, which allows you to pre-download all the content then turn off access to the internet. For example you can have the entire Khan Academy content offline (assuming 40G storage), then give them the tablet and be like browse all you want, since all the content will be educational and not youtube junk.
