 reaction was, “Yuck!”  But that’s because I’m a traditionalist, who believes passionately in the importance of establishing a love of print right from the beginning.  And touching the screen of an iPad only provides what I call “flash and crash” entertainment,
 making things appear and disappear.  Does it teach creativity?  Language development that leads to social skills?  An understanding of how print works so that you can eventually handle a book and read from beginning to end?  What I see today is a generation
 of students who have absolutely no patience or comprehension about research.  If the answer to their question does not immediately pop out at them, literally, POP out at them on the screen, they just keep on clicking, here, there, anywhere, in hopes of randomly
 stumbling on what they need.  The concepts of continuity and contemplation are disappearing.</span></font></p>

 whether or not we support it.  We inform without judgment, and, like Rick said, make sure they receive the info about what the experts say as well, rather than making a decision just based on, “Oh, boy.  It’s new.  It’s slick.  I want it for my baby.”  Shades

 was on, laughing at new images, listening to whatever was said.  The second week the people would occasionally glance at the TV, watch for a bit, then wander away to listen to a story from their storyteller.  By the third week the television interested only
 a few, and by the end of the month it sat, unnoticed, collecting dust.  However, the storyteller had a crowd, and everyone was singing, laughing, participating, with the story being told.  The one who had introduced the television asked a person in the village,
 “Why aren’t you watching the television anymore?  It knows many more stories than your storyteller will ever know.”  “Yes,” agreed the person, “but the television does not know
