Meg Griswold's Blog (3)

At a 1:1 school, all of our students can access the Kindle App on their Lenovo tablets.  This is great for public domain texts.  It is great for me to use as I teach by projecting the App onto the board so that we can do close readings of a passage.  But, it is frozen in time.  No updates, no changes, no improvements.  It feels like the App is the red headed stepchild at Amazon. 

Here is what I want: I want to be able to tag my notes and then search my notes and sort my notes…

My students used the Kindle for PC app today in a great way to support our analysis of The Secret Life of Bees.

How else are you all using ebooks and associated apps?

Hi All!

I am launching a blog called "My Kindle Classroom" where I will be writing about teaching with a Kindle and teaching students with Kindles.  I would love your input and feedback.  Any tips or post recommendations are very welcome.
