Countless times I have had teachers tell me that their students teach them how to use their SMART Board interactive whiteboards, SMART Response systems, SMART slates, or other various pieces of technology that are integrated into the classroom. Getting the students to read can be difficult sometimes, but using your Kindle and your SMART Board together is a great way to address that issue. Today’s students are digital natives and research has shown that they learn better with integrated technology when it is used effectively.

If you have a Kindle you can download the free Kindle for PC app (or Kindle for Mac) from Amazon.com. The app allows you to access your Kindle library on your computer and SMART Board. You can project the text on your SMART Board, make notes with the digital ink layer, capture notes and text, and save it in a SMART Notebook file. Keep in mind that you can use your floating toolbar to spotlight, magnify, highlight, underline, etc.
