Do We Get Extra Credit For Mastering Angry Birds?

It's interesting to read stories like this one about a school system that bought iPads for classroom use and is now trying to figure out how best to use them. They'll be used for textbooks and for... well, they're going to try all sorts of ideas. I'm wondering, though, whether the entertainment aspects of the iPad -- slide shows, animation, sound -- will really enhance education or just become a distraction. An expensive, expensive distraction. (Lawrence Eagle-Tribune; Thanks to Jeff Katz at WXKS (Talk 1200)/Boston for the link)
