I'm back from a hiatus--maternity leave. It's good to think about things other than diapers for a change. Here's a great find that many people already know about but I still wanted to mention.
The Kindle. No you don't need to go buy one. Just download the Kindle app on any Mac, PC, Blackberry, Android, iPhone, iPad, or Windows Phone 7. One of the great things about this is you can access your ebooks from multiple sites. For example, I have the Kindle app on my Mac laptop, my iPhone, and my iPad. I can read the same thing from each of these devices. It saves my bookmarks, annotations, etc. This would be excellent for students! They could read--make annotations--at school on a computer, and then access the very same work at home or on their mobile device. I wish I knew about this when I was teaching AP English, and I definitely wish this existed when I was working on my undergrad!
