Owners of older Apple devices cheered when the news came from Cupertino that iOS7 was going to be available on older models like the iPad2 and iPhone 4S. However, the joy that came with running a brand-spanking-new OS on an older machine was tempered with the realization that the older hardware produced good-but-not-great performance.
The folks over at CNet have taken a look into some of the direct causes for the sometimes-sluggish performance in these cases and have come up with a few workarounds that could have those older devices running iOS7 like it was designed specifically for them.

A critical mass of young people in the society felt part of something meaningful and were provided the guidance and time to develop their inner potential...
It’s no secret that students, especially those in elementary schools, have trouble sitting at a desk or in front of a screen all day.
It’s natural for children to want to move, jump around, burn off some of their extra, seemingly boundless energy. It’s also apparent that children (and adults) are more distracted than ever. We all need tools to help us focus.
