New education tool: Tabs with literacy apps

After using the tabs for a year, children were tested on their understanding of 20 English words.

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Tufts University, and Georgia State University in the U.S. examined the use of tablet computers loaded with literacy applications in a range of educational environments.
