I have been to several technology forums lately and just recieved a Kindle for Christmas and I am imagining the possibilities for our students.
I would love to hear your thoughts on having students carrying e-readers instead of traditional text books.
In your opinion tell me what you think. Of Apples iPad and Amazon's Kindle which one will be VHS and which one will be BetaMax? Did I just age myself?

Both will be betamax
The VHS will be the Chrome OS tablet http://dev.chromium.org/chromium-os/user-experience/form-factors/tablet
I think it is worth keeping an eye on. The previous poster makes a good point. The technology is evolving however, the concept is interesting.
Why don't you ask David Steele to look into it on a preliminary basis? Most of the books we use in the district are on the web. I cant imagine it would be too difficult for publishers to convert them to e-book readable formats.
The e-book reader is certainly going to take the place of physical books. The district should study this.
Thanks for bringing it up. This is the kind of innovation we need to consider.
Think of it!!! No more huge bookbags, "I left my book in my locker", "my locker's jammed", tardies would decrease, and the list goes on! How much are these? Surely less than 7 textbooks. Would the district issue one on which books could be custom loaded for each student? Sounds like inventory would be MUCH easier!Don't know that much about the technology, but it sure sounds promising--Kindle OR iPad.
How many careers are you going to destroy because your too stupid to go to college and get a career the proper way, you have to lie--and you are not even smart enough to do that. I caught you hook, ling, and sinker!
