    This is a difficult firing process that can be dangerous. It is hard to explain, but with this video clip from YouTube, it makes it easy. This one is done very well and shows my advanced ceramic students exactly what I want them to see.

  • "If you're going to do something like this, you have to be as good as the book in a lot of respects," says Bezos. "But we also have to look for things that ordinary books can't do."
  • First, it must project an aura of bookishness;

      I do actually think this is important; there's something about reading a book and I like that Kindle has some "bookishness" to it.

      I agree, there is nothing like sitting down in a big comfy chair and reading. I'm not sure I would like using a hand held device instead of the actual book.

      I don't think it's important for the Kindle to look like a book. I'm pretty ok with reading something non-bookish.
  • E-book devices like the Kindle allow you to change the font size: aging baby boomers will appreciate that every book can instantly be a large-type edition. The handheld device can also hold several shelves' worth of books: 200 of them onboard, hundreds more on a memory card and a limitless amount in virtual library stacks maintained by Amazon. Also, the Kindle allows you to search within the book for a phrase or name.

      this is one feature that I really do like, the changing of the font size!
    • Amy Armstrong

      These are important features for making things more available in alternative formats. Electronic versions offer instant large print and ways to have it read aloud. These features can be helpful for many people with disabilities.

      I have heard about ebook devices that allow the reader to adjust the font size. I have gotten to the age where that is a great selling feature for me.

      I tried to get one of these for my visually impaired student last year but was unsuccessful. I think it would be a great tool for her to use in and out of school.

      I love the search option! I am always paging back to remind myself how characters are related or other facts I've forgotten. This would make it so much faster.

  • Amazon has designed the Kindle to operate totally independent of a computer: you can use it to go to the store, browse for books, check out your personalized recommendations, and read reader reviews and post new ones, tapping out the words on a thumb-friendly keyboard.

  • Long before there was cyberspace, books led us to a magical nether-zone. "Books are all the dreams we would most like to have, and like dreams they have the power to change consciousness," wrote Victor Nell in a 1988 tome called "Lost in a Book."

      I just love to read. I've never read on the Kindle, but may want to try it some day.
  • And once you buy, the Kindle does its neatest trick: it downloads the book and installs it in your library, ready to be devoured.

  • The Kindle is not just for books. Via the Amazon store, you can subscribe to newspapers (the Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Le Monde) and magazines (The Atlantic). When issues go to press, the virtual publications are automatically beamed into your Kindle. (It's much closer to a virtual newsboy tossing the publication on your doorstep than accessing the contents a piece at a time on the Web.) You can also subscribe to selected blogs, which cost either 99 cents or $1.99 a month per blog.

  • Google has already scanned a million books from its partner libraries like the University of Michigan and the New York Public Library, and they are available in its database. (Last week my wife searched for information about the first English edition of the journals of Pehr Kalm, a Swedish naturalist traveling in Colonial America. In less than two seconds, Google delivered the full text of the book, as published in 1771.

  • 8. Participate in After-School Activities This could be anything from coaching to attending as a spectator. I coach varsity cross-country, and beyond adoring my engagement with students in a non-academic setting -- which has a host of benefits unto itself -- I enjoy interacting with parents on a daily basis. We speak not only about how their child is doing athletically, but emotionally and academically as well. I can't express how often this rapport has helped me realize how to communicate more effectively with teens, both on the field and inside the classroom. How should teachers effectively communicate with parents, and involve them in their child's education? Please share your thoughts and experiences in the comments section below.
