I would like to win an iPad so I could be a hip and trendy Gran. Not the gran with the dinosaur desk top computer!

I would like to win an ipad because I am constantly and increasingly, being amazed by my grandmother friends who dive into their handbags and pull out this item saying,
" Thought you might like to have a look at my latest grandchild"!

i would like to win an ipad as my grandchildren could show me how to use the internet on the move. i could facetime them when they are at home and help with homework etc, which at the moment we do by phone, thanks for the opportunity.

I would like to win an iPad because I don't have any other device and it would help me support my grandchildren it gaining the all important computer skills. Also, being of a certain age it would help me to feel not so much like a dinosaur and enable me to keep in touch more with family and friends, even while in hospital. Thanks for the chance to win.

I would like to win an iPad because the screen is so much bigger than on my tablet and then I would be able to see what I'm doing and who I'm talking to!

I have four grandchildren, two about 50 miles away, and twins 150 miles away. When they were born we moved to where they live and rented a house so we could help and get to know them. We have now moved back, and miss them terribly. They are only just over a year old, but I would love to have the chance to keep pace with them as they start to use technology - which is at a very young age. In the meantime, I am absolutely sure my other two grandchildren, aged 6 and 4, would be forever impressed to know that their grandparents were up to play adventure games via an i-pad. What amazing school-cred that would give them! :-)

I would like to win an Ipad because my granddaughter and I would really enjoy communicating over the internet. It would help to bring us closer, even though we live in different countries.

I would like to win an Ipad because they're compact and light with stylish control,magically turns my scrawl into scroll.

I would like to win an ipad because at present I have to buy 3 of each children's book, I send one to one set of grandchildren and one to the others, all 6 living abroad, and then we Skype to read bedtime stories... they love to see the pictures and recognise words.
An ipad and Gingersnap's new programme seems like a dream come true -
we can all interact together in one story! What an incredible idea!
Well done Gingersnap!

I would like to win an ipad as I am convinced I am the only person around that doesn't already have one. As an older person I sometimes find it difficult to keep up with the latest technology, but if & when I get stuck I know my grandchildren will know the answer and be able to help me. If I am lucky enough to win this it would be a great excuse to spend a bit more time with them. They could show me how to use it, then we could have some fun with it.

I would like to win an ipad because I'm really fed up with my two grand-children quarelling over who's turn it is to use mine!

I would like to win an iPad because my 6 year old granddaughter uses mine a lot and it is without doubt a wonderful fun tool used correctly with her education.

Hameringham Fri 31-Oct-14 12:40:24

To keep in touch with my grandchildren through playing a game would be great fun and so enrich our relationship.

Nansypansy Fri 31-Oct-14 12:37:59

I would like to win an iPad because my granddaughter is always using mine and she would then be able to keep it permanently and we could get together and work with gingersnap.

GrAnne2 Fri 31-Oct-14 12:11:03

I have twin granddaughters and they need one each!!

ajanela Fri 31-Oct-14 12:08:11

I would like to win an iPad because we are now spending most of the year in Portugal, my husbands home country and a better place for his health, and my grandson has an iPad and it would like to learn some of the things he is doing with it. I haven't a clue about minecraft the game he builds cities and rooms etc. on, and other games he plays although I try to have conversations with him about them. When we talk on skpe he carries his iPad around and shows us things he is doing and I would like to be able to do the same when I am away.
