I think that the text-to-speech feature is another important one for those who are behind grade level in reading. I'm very disappointed that Amazon's decided to allow publishers to opt-out of this feature; even though the algorithm for TTS is very g…

Research that I can cite isn't related specifically to Kindles but to access to current high-quality literature, up-to-date technology and a certified librarian in schools can be directly correlated to higher test scores on standardized testing. The…

Hi, Kimberly,
How neat would it be to have a grant that would flood my classroom with Kindles?! I have one, but I don't have many for the class. Right now my Kindle serves my voracious vampire-werewolf-paranormal reading population! I have the Twighlight series on it, the House of Night series by the Casts, the Dead by Before Dark series by Charlaine Harris and many more. Yea... it's a pulp fiction Kindle at the moment. But I love that it could become many other things as well. It's incredible to me that a concordance is basically a built-in and that students could use the Kindle to trace themes and connect texts with the search feature that make it easy to find a word or phrase throughout.

Aside from passing the Kindle around, I've also used it for a student who was having vision problems. I showed her how to enlarge the text and she used it for independent reading for several months last year.

Take care! Lee Ann

Kimberly--I love the your color scheme and background! This is a sign of someone who is way comfortable with technology...;-)

Hi Kimberly! Welcome to the Ning. Feel free to make a blog post or join a discussion. I am interested in your connection to education and to ereadres like the Kindle.

About me

I'm a high school librarian. I bought my Kindle2 this past March. I recently received word that I'll be receiving a significant grant in addition to my usual budget and am considering adding some Kindles to my library collection, particularly to provide access to newspapers.

I found this group via a link to KindlePedia from YahooGroups KindleKorner.

I'm interested in finding out how others are using Kindles in education and any suggestions, feedback and warnings I can find.
