I had heard about this on cable news but I see many problems with this type of learning. If kids are trained to click and point, how will they ever leanr/know how to actually write?

If I ran the world, students would never see a computer in school. The point is to learn how to think, computers short-circuit that.

These teachers are going to do themselves out of a job. I'm surprised they're so enthusiastic about it.

Sony PlayStations are usually associated with video games, but students at Marshall and Kelly elementary schools are finding a more educational use for them this year.

I'm sure that the teachers taking their coffee breaks are finding this particularly useful.
