"The idea of using e-readers in my classroom came to me several years ago. As textbooks become more expensive and school budgets continue to shrink, e-readers and e-books have become a popular option for schools. After researching e-readers and programs at other schools, I decided to put a proposal together for my school.
Before launching a schoolwide program, I proposed that my school board pilot e-readers in my English classroom. As I prepared my proposal, I realized that my proposal revolved around three key questions: 1) Which e-reader best fits my school's needs? 2) How will e-readers be used? 3) How will e-readers benefit students in my classroom? These questions, along with a discussion of the benefits of e-readers, possible outcomes of the program, and the replacement cost of current materials, were all included in my proposal to use e-readers in the classroom"
"As one of the most exciting technological advancements, the e-reader is making a huge impression on everyone young and old alike! With the ability to give a reader the opportunity to have at their hands multiple books all in one, not only are e-readers being used for personal use, now they are also being used for educational purposes as well. Here is a look at all the benefits possible with e-readers."
"As a result of a conversation between some teachers and administrators from the international school here where my wife works, I became aware of the move to include eReaders in the equipment that is beginning to be offered to the young people at some schools and universities, and this set me off on a long search through the net to see what was actually happening with this idea, and how it was viewed by librarians, teachers, kids and administrators in schools around the world."
"An Illinois grade school is using Kindle e-readers to help encourage students of all levels to get excited about reading. The devices' dictionary feature has allowed students in fifth and sixth grade to better understand Washington Irving's "Rip Van Winkle," and the highlighting feature is being used to help kindergarten students sound out new words. Each device can hold up to 3,500 titles, a feature that educators say helps make up for their school's lack of sufficient library space"
