September 2nd- Tech Topic

I solved how to do Literature without books. My littlest sister called me last night and said that my mom had purchased her a "Kindle" from www.amazon.com. Not knowing at all what a "Kindle" was I had my sister explain it to me. From what I gather it's like a mini wireless computer that is the size of a game boy. You use it for downloading books off of amazon. It costs a few hundred dollars but if you read like my sister reads or if you say use it in your classroom year after year it would most definitely pay for its self. Buying the downloads costs not even a fraction as much as buying the actual book. It would be much easier for your students to carry one "Kindle" home verses a whole backpack full of books. It would also be more convenient for me as the teacher to order the books because I receive my purchase immediately.
