I heart Amazon.com! I just love them and I love my Kindle. I am a book lover. The moldy smell, the rough edges, the crinkly warning sound as you open a hardback too far....Ahhh, I love it! I never thought I'd be one of "those people" with a Kindle. Now I have one and you'll have to tear it from my cold, dead hands before you can take it from me (even then I might decide to haunt you for the fun of it). Now that I have one, what do I do with it in my classroom? We have several in our media center, but we have a problem. The connundrum is that every Kindle is tied to an Amazon account with an active credit card. So how do we use them effectively without having a million dollar bill from some kid going on a book spree? Do we just use them for the staff? Encourage kids to buy their own? I don't know, but I want to solve this issue. It's keeping me up at night. What's the good of having the technology if you can't safely use it in your classroom?!?!?!
