Wow that is impressive. I do think this is the future. I think about my grandsons growing up interacting on an iPad rather than a book. My son is a software engineer in Silicon Valley and the iPad is a very comfortable device for my 4 year old grandson. As a retired teacher, I see a different way to interact with information really changing the way our children's brains work. That is the challenge our teachers need to meet.

I hope this happens for elementary school, too!
