Tim Hardy recently sent me information that reveals how e-readers can be used for reading strategies. Before you roll your eyes and say, "I'll never use one of those technological e-reader gizmos", read on.
At some point, our students might be using one e-reader instead of lugging around an assortment of physical textbooks. Right now, some students and their parents use the iPod touch, Kindle or Nook. Clinton Township residents can check out a Kindle from the Clinton-Macomb library to experience this e-reader.
Students have access to a variety of e-readers so exposing them to reading strategy options for this technology might enhance their learning experiences. If you have time check out this brief video on the diigo application to learn about how students can highlight text and use technological sticky notes with e-readers.
If nothing else, it's an interesting and practical use for developing reading strategies.
