As a teacher who has received two grants from DonorsChoose, I would like to thank everyone who has considered donating to the organization. Both of the items I received were tech. items. Additionally, both items are things that the students use on a regular basis. Do the students need to have these items to learn? No. Does it make school more interesting and enjoyable for them? Yes. As a result, the students are more likely to actively participate in a lesson, remember more from the lesson and take greater pride in their work.
What do you remember most fondly from your days in school -- reading from the textbook or the cool hands-on activity you did one day in class?
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
