I was a bit skeptical, but I am increasingly convinced that iPad apps are going to have a huge impact on education.

My first realization was when I was tutoring a friend's kid on multiplication tables. I went to Amazon to buy some multiplication flashcards, and while I was researching the best ones I found out that there were tons of iPad apps to teach the multiplication tables. I downloaded one and my friend's teenager got really into it... she kept trying to beat her speed record (measured in 1/10th of a second).

Then I saw this article about how someone created a game that teaches algebra and is hugely popular:

I'm definitely amazed at the power of iPad apps to impact education. I plan to supplement our kids education with lots of apps!

Are you going to incorporate iPad apps into your child's education?
