Leveraging Technology IV - Kindle


Okay, I confess; I am an unrepentant technology and gadget freak. One of my current favorites is the Kindle e-book from Amazon. This wireless portable reading device has great appeal to tech-savvy readers, and it also has great potential for sharing information and learning.

Though the Kindle is primarily designed to purchase books from Amazon and then make it readable on a digital screen; it is also a mobile device that creates a connection to the Internet. The capacity to distribute educational materials with this ingenious technology is as yet an essentially untapped resource.

What educational possibilities will be realized through using Kindle in the future? Our imaginations are the only limit…
