"IPAD is very easy to use and can display patterns of teaching through images and sound. iPad revolutionize education," he added.
Parents Sue Millard said, Morrill submitted a proposal to U.S. $ 200 thousand (Rp1, 7 billion) for the school program.
However, Millard questioned whether kindergarten children are old enough to appreciate the technology. "I understand the technology needs to be updated but I think, for children aged five years old is too young to understand it," he said.
