=Using Mobile Technology to Differentiate Instruction= (session) Karen Fasimpaur

Post-Session Follow-up
The Kindle has 256 MB of internal memory. (They say that is about 200 books worth.) It will also take up to a 4 GB card.

Here is an interesting way to "[|see a Kindle]" in your city. (You can only buy them online.)


 * ANY TEACHERS IN WICOMICO CO. OR SEAFORD**: I forgot to mention that that your districts already have a license to the complete K12 Handhelds ebook collection I mentioned. Contact Carla Hurchalla or Steve Garner for more info. (For others, a link for more info is below.)
