These were the thoughts I submitted to a survey about electronic learning gadgets such as Leap Frog.
The electronic learning toys and computer programs ARE useful. Even as an adult one of the ways I've learned difficult subjects such as medical terminology is by playing games that help me forget that it's such a "serious" subject. However, although these learning tools are useful, for children there is nothing better than to learn by being physically as well as mentally involved. Playing with building toys or playing real-world games and of course physical activity are very essential and can never be replaced by electronics.
