Joe Wikert has a great post about the reaction of a student to the use of a Kindle in the classroom. We would like to hear stories about educational uses of the Kindle here as well! Lee Ann has started using her Kindle with students in her high school classroom and will be reporting her updates here.
What stands out in thinking about Kindles as educational devices has to do with the way in which the Kindle stimulates people young and old to read more. The most respected educational researchers tell us that more reading is the key to improved reading skills. One nationally recognized educator and high school English teacher pointed out to this writer that “the world is a tough place if you can’t read.”
So, if the Kindle means more reading, then the Kindle means better reading. Do you agree?
