In response to everyone who is doubting the skills of a teacher with computers, i beg to differ, at least at my school. there is a SMART board in every classroom, as well as a projector. every teacher we have is very knowledgeable about computers, and they have absolutely no trouble bing the board up. of course there are some glitches that happen, but there are IT guys for that. and also- every teacher uses it at least one time per week, and some use it everyday throughout class. i think it is very useful. i cant comment on the usefulness of this product because i am assuming it is aimed more towards lower grades( im in 8th).
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.
