ipads in junior classrooms

A six year old who cannot form letters yet, sat for 15minutes perfecting the lowercase letter a by tracing over the letter on a printing app. Every time I walked past the colour was different and the letter was looking better. I put a piece of paper down on the table and after discovering that you can't use your finger to write on paper the child picked up a crayon and very capably formed a letter a. Looking very pleased and ready to tackle a new letter the child was in control of the learning and the ability to practise while changing the colours was so appealing that the goal was achieved!
