The Amazon Kindle Fire





How The Amazon Kindle Fire Fits Into Education


This is an article about the Kindle Fire when it came out.  It talks about the specific features that the Kindle Fire contains. It does not have much storage but that is supplemented by the Amazon Cloud storage and it has to have a Wi-Fi connection for the internet.  The Kindle Fire uses the Android operating system and users have access to the android app market.  One comment the article makes about the apps available to the Kindle Fire is that they limit the apps to high quality and that do not contain offensive material.  If this is true, this is great for a classroom.


The Kindle Fire is really awesome and definitely has a place in the classroom.  I like the smaller size of the Kindle Fire compared to the iPad.  The Kindle Fire can be used by students as an e-reader and students can have access to many apps along with having internet access.  These could be used many ways in the classroom.
