Wednesday I came into the classroom and a big box was on the back counter. Everyone was telling me that the Kindles had arrived but I didn't believe them because they had been saying that for months. So I asked the teacher if it was true. She said yes. I was so excited!
There are two types of kindles. The original and the Kindle Paperwhite. The Kindle Paperwhite is a touch screen with audible capabilities. They also store the words you do not know. The more advanced readers will most likely get the original Kindle because they do not need these extra helpful capabilities.
Now begins the process of inputting the Kindles into Wispercast, the online management system the teachers will be using, and assigning the devices to the students.
Wednesday the teacher will have us finally get reading on the Kindles. Mrs. Kinsman has gotten some free classics for us to try out the Kindles and learn how they operate. Soon students will get to pick out books. We will get a book, read it, then pick a new one. The good thing is that if one student gets a book and finishes it, it will forever be in the class library and other students will be able to read it with out more money spent getting it on their Kindle. We have a large fund set aside specially for books. Our classroom library will no doubt be excellent.
