Learning on the iPad

Uncle Tommy brought Ellie a PINK stylus for the iPad a few weeks ago and tonight we finally took it out.  I had an app already that was for handwriting but it didn't interest Ellie so I deleted it.  I re-downloaded it tonight and she LOVED it.  The best part is it rates how you write by giving stars.  Ellie practiced and practiced letters until she got three stars.  I wonder how this will apply to real life pencil and paper.  We'll try that after she's mastered the app :) I swear the kid learns so well on the iPad.  I know there are people that are against "screen time" for little kids but I am not one of those parents.  Ellie loves the iPad and uses it at night before bed, and only educational apps or Netflix.  She smoothly navigates the home screen and new apps are like gold for her.  If you don't know of the app called "Apps Gone Free" you should get it.  There are lots of educational apps for children posted, so I rarely pay for apps that should cost money.  Anyway, here is a video of Ellie's first time using the writing app with the stylus.  Thanks for watching and reading.
