Portable

• A Kindle is an ideal teaching tool for educators who move from classroom to classroom. While many teachers have their own classroom, others travel between rooms, meaning they have to carry a load of teaching supplies. If teaching young students, that supply list could include books, craft material and other items, resulting in a bulky load for the teacher. Carrying a Kindle instead of a pile of books is more efficient; if the teacher reads daily to the class, she can download the necessary reading list onto the Kindle and no longer have to carry books around.
  
  

Modern

• A common strategy of teaching younger students is "tricking" them into thinking they aren't learning. This is why educational movies and field trips to museums are common; when you give the student a non-traditional learning environment, he may find it more fun to learn. A Kindle gives educators a modern way of reaching students. Instead of reading from a textbook, the teacher can read from the Kindle. Younger students will be impressed by the device, and they may appear more interested in learning.
  
  

Reward Incentive

• If you have a class that has trouble settling down, you can use a Kindle as an incentive for behaving properly. During quiet reading time, each student sits reading her book at her desk. You can agree to distribute the Kindle for five or 10 minutes to each student as long as the class remains quiet and on topic. Students will behave better in anticipation of using the Kindle as an alternative to their standard reading material.
  
  

Note Function

• With the Kindle's note function, you can highlight passages in books and make corresponding notes. This, in turn, negates the need for the traditional teaching book and notes to go along with it. With the Kindle, you can teach from a book with your notes directly handy. By highlighting the text, you can make sure you never miss pointing out a specific section to your class, without damaging a hard copy of a book.
