Tablets are a two-edged sword. Yes if left on their desk with the ability to navigate outside of an app will be very distracting. 

My opinion: However, if we can keep them in an app we can offer more interactivity. 

While younger students may be more adaptive to technology they still need to be guided to the value and training technology can bring. 

tablets change with time. 

I use an ipad currently along with an apple TV which allows me to walk around cordlessly. I am aware that tech will change but this might be a consideration for others when making a decision.
