Kindle in the Classroom

The greatest power in the new Kindle ebook reader from Amazon is the grand possibility of its use in the classroom.

Imagine how easy it would be to deliver up-to-date and of-the-moment textbook information to students?

You could all browse the morning paper together.

Course materials can be emailed and uploaded to the Kindle automagically.

The beauty of Kindle is -- even in the virtual classrooms of Boles University -- we can still use the same traditions and memes of Kindle learning as other on campus classrooms.

Kindle clarifies and evens out the blurry line between traditional teaching and virtual learning.

Kindle makes the virtual real and the real virtual -- and in that combination of ingenuity and inspiration -- comes the real purpose of us all: To carry forward the learning of others so that we may begin to transform memory into meaning in our current lives and to then warn others in the future against the perils of what we already know.
