Reflection 8

The article that I have read recently about kindles in the classroom was a great article. It gave many reasons to have a kindle in your classroom, and some reasons maybe to have have a kindle in your classroom. One great reason to have a kindle in your classroom is because they promote readin fluency. The kindle's text-to-speech audio function can help address the challenges of students with vision problems, language Barriers, and lack of reading fluency. Some of the hurdles you might face are if the kindle is durable enough in the student's hands or in their backpacks and there is no output jack to connect to an overhead projector The cost is the major hurdle for having a kindle in a classroom. Most teachers can not afford to buy a kindle.

  1. I like the idea of using kindles to replace books. It would be so much cheaper and easier to update materials.
