We currently don’t own an ipad, mostly because I haven’t been able to justify the expense ($380-$570 in Australia). Also I wonder will this be yet another area of battling the screen? I’m not totally opposed to owning one, and in the hope of doing so I’ve entered many contests hoping to win. I suspect there are many wonderful educational opportunities we have yet to discover, but for now I just read posts such as the ladies below share and absorb.
