younger children - they like to get up and interact with the board - and
it's a good focus point for the younger kids. We have tablets in the
Middle and Upper schools and that seems to work well. The kids have
better motor skills to work with the tablets. I can also imagine they
would be great if every kids had a tablet of their own.
I think they are essentially the same thing - the only thing that changes
is where the user interacts with it.
