I believe the internet to be the greatest gift in terms of immediate access to information and data. I am constantly using it for researching historical, political and scientific items... yes, even items of trivia. However, iPads for all Year 7 students? I'm guessing that's the equivalent of 13-14 year olds? I'm sure most of this age group have home computers, on which they can research in their own time (rather than live on social sites). Call me old-fashioned, but I believe the addition of, and reliance upon, calculators and computers has impacted upon the mental flexibility of today's youngsters. Their standard of grammar and ability to perform simple mental arithmetic problems have both suffered. Do any of them even know what logarithm tables are?
