Emerging Technology

An emerging technology I am interested in is the Kindle or e-reader. I think this is a very interesting piece of technology because I love to read. I think in the future there will be no more textbooks or printed paper, everything will be on an electronic device like the Kindle. I could use this in my classroom for students to read on or for a special needs student who maybe needs the text enlarged so they can see it better. A lot of schools don't have the money for this kind of technology right now so there may only be one in every classroom, but it could be used as a reward. All students like using technology and new things so there could be a reward set up so that the students took turns on the Kindle and you only got to use it if you were good.
