Kindle Reader for PCs

Did you know that Kindle has created a "Reader" for PCs?

Pretty cool stuff! By installing the Kindle Reader for PCs, your books can be downloaded and read from your laptop, desktop, or netbook as well as on the Kindle. If you bookmark a page on the PC, Whispersync will save that same location on your Kindle and any other PCs on which Kindle Reader is installed.

Yes - it allows for multiple installations!

Aside from convenience and greater accessibility to your books, I can envision the books being projected for classroom instructional use.

Give the Kindle Reader a try. You won't be disappointed!

Journaling & Reading: Lost Arts?

Do you feel like students aren't writing enough, or that getting them to write is like trying to floss fish teeth? Try appealing to their "inner digital native". A simple and easy way to get them up and running in no time is at http://www.notebookg.com

As far as reading: Consider the iTouch or Amazon's Kindle. Pricey? Maybe OR maybe not. If the goal is to get children to read, the medium in which the written word is consumed is wide-open. You can always start small. You can also ask to see a demonstration. That's why I'm available to you as your county technology integration coordinator. Give me a call and ask to arrange a demonstration of the iTouch or the Kindle. I'd be glad to come into your classroom and let you see them first-hand!
