Kindles for Title I Classrooms

I am about to implement ten Kindles in our elementary Title I classrooms. These Kindles will be used by both Title I and General Education teachers to work with Title I students. Our teachers are excited about the possibility of having multiple texts available to our students at a moments notice. The fact that we can download texts onto multiple Kindles is very attractive.

Will DeLamater is being interviewed in this weeks The Kindle Chronicles podcast (TKC 48 ). He talks about the DX and its use in the educational sector.

eSchool News Leads with Story on Kindle DX

You know that people are paying attention when eSchool News puts a Kindle story on the front page! The article contains nothing new in terms of information about the DX and the schools that will be piloting it, but several quotes from those involved sum up the situation: The Educator: "Is this the watershed device of electronic text readers we've been waiting for?

Is Kindle the perfect learning appliance?

The devices that we use to access content are getting smaller and smaller. One could make the case that the iPod Touch and the iPhone are in fact small pocket computers, and one wouldn't be far from the truth.
