Will an iPad with keyboard get us through the next few years?


As long as a mouse works with it, then it could be ok. I believe Lexia and Dreambox definitely need it.

Why not get a cheap netbook instead? I'm not sure how much support iPads have with regard to other software, programming, educational software, etc. A real computer for them to work on would be a plus.
