Are paper flashcards not good enough any more? What about parents reading along with their children instead of the machine? Technology does have a purpose and can be very useful, but first graders using iPads seems like overkill.

I think we are underestimating what young children can do. Yes they rehearsed but they knew exactly what they were doing and did an amazing job. They were using academic language in a tech setting but you could tell that they had been exposed to the vocabulary and technology for a long time. I have a projector, laptop and ELMO in my classroom. I teach them on a daily basis the vocabulary and how to use programs and the internet.

I bought an iPad for school. But I didn't know they meant kindergarden.
I have taught grade 1 for many years, and these particular Grade 1s were by far the more verbally fluent than any I have had in my classrooms. I wonder how long this was rehearsed. The speed they whizzed through the words is unrealistic for most 6 year olds. They have to pause and sound out words. They are portraying the iPad as a 'miracle worker'.

@machristie1952 Never once did anyone in the video call the device a "miracle worker," just that it can be used to support early literacy. And the reading of sight words at 0:31 was 100% authentic. Most first graders don't need to pause an decode words like "little," "do" or "are."
