Kindle Kerry Hofmeister

The Kindle is a e-reader that was developed by Amazon. The device that is about the size of a book allows readers to store all of their reading material on one device and flip between them with ease. Readers can search online to get books, magazines, blogs, digital media, and newspapers that they can purchase.

 * Overview **


 * Application to learning **

I can see a day in the near future where schools will have Kindle libraries where kids “check out” books that are licensed to the school for a period of time. This access to reading changes things dramatically when looking at a classroom. The Kindle does not have color, but it still has a great chance of replacing textbooks in the near future. Also, if every student is equipped with a Kindle you can download the reading for the lesson right to their device.
