As is usually the case, the biggest issue that one runs into is keeping the kids focused on what they are suppose to be doing rather than goofing off. I'm pretty sure there is no technical solution for that, but even with all the really cool learning apps for the iPad, most kids seem to view it as entertainment and games, not learning.

The best way to teach kids is to make it fun and enjoyable. I used to own a Martial Arts School and taught a lot of kids. The worst mistake I have seen is treating the younger kids like adults. They do not learn the same way. As long as they were having fun it did not matter to them that they were learning and working out. A bored child will not learn.
When my son was in middle school, the School hired a teacher with great credentials from teaching men in the Air Force. He tried to teach the children using the same methods and could not figure out why his was the worst class in the school.
Keep the children interested and make it fun and they can do anything.
