  146. Our building has a few kindle fire's in our school library, but they are not allowed to leave the library. A few of my lucky love muffins have been lucky enough to get their hands on one. They are so excited about using them! I'd definitely use one during Read to Self in my classroom. I also think it could be a used as a "prize" for good behavior...where students could choose to earn time on the Nook!

  147. I would use the Nook for Listen to Reading and Word Work during my Daily 5 time. I have 1 iPad so another device would help so much!

  152. I would use this in my classroom as an incentive for my struggling readers! I actually spent my own money on two black and white nooks from pawn shops. They love them! A color one would be even more awesome!

  153. I am so glad I came across this wonderful blog! I have told all my co-workers and fellow teachers about it so they can take advantage of all your wonderful ideas. Thank you so much for this wonderful offer and I'm crossing my fingers that I get that Nook as I would love to integrate more technology in my classroom!!

    *Save time finding children's books that interest my 28 little 4th graders!

    *Promote vocabulary development and improve test scores

    *I could use this Nook to integrate curriculum through children’s literature

    *I could develop lesson plans for math, science, and social studies objectives and bring lessons to life using this new technology!

    * Enhance curriculum and thematic units

    * Provide meaning and relevance to students by helping them connect lessons to real life experiences through children’s books

    * My students often have a hard time focusing and this new nook would allow me to capture their attention and make learning interesting and fuN!

    * Convenient, online shopping and of course, browsing your tipsforteachers blog to get more ideas :)

    Thanks again for the wonderful offer!!

  158. This is a great contest and I can't wait to check out some of these sites! i would use the Nook Color in the classroom in a similar way to using an ipad...for reluctant readers, as a reward, for apps (if it has apps like an ipad) for flash cards etc. I hope I win! :-)

  159. Thank you for doing this giveaway!!! It's wonderful to do that! I am working on creating a small library of Nooks for my class. My kids have decided they think it would be wonderful to have a Nook for every child to use so I continue to search for Nooks through my own funds and through grants and fundraisers. This would be a great addition to our classroom Nook library!!!! My kinders would be sooo excited to win this (as would their teacher)!

  163. I would give it to my lowest reader. I wrote a grant for 6 but it wasn't funded. They didn't think it would enhance reading at all. It sounds like from the posts that the teachers here don't agree. I think it's a fantastic way to encourage reluctant readers and would love to have them in my classroom.

  164. I would use it as a part of my literacy time. My kiddos don't get a lot of tech time, and I have a lot of reluctant readers. Maybe it would inspire them!

  167. I would download our current read-aloud (WONDER by RJ Palacio) and have a drawing to see which student would get to read along on the Nook for a week. Figuring out a way to use it with my developing readers would be great too . . . hmm . . . have to think on that!

  168. I love the giveaway, but am bummed that just because I do not blog, I lose out on 10 entries. Makes it hard for an average teacher without a blog to win.

    ReplyDelete
  169. By the way I forgot to post that I would so use it for read alouds, read to someone, read to self, and for reading with the teacher.

  175. I have a million & 1 ideas to incorporate a nook into my classroom and at home. At school it could be an incentive, part of stations or help my special ed non-reader/s. At home, I would use it to help my math obsessed daughter learn to READ! I am a reading teacher whose 4 year old loves math! Talk about irony!

  180. Wow! What a giveaway!! I don't know anything about a Nook, and I'd love to say that I would spend all my free time reading for my own enjoyment, but who am I kidding? Everything I own ends up at school, so I'm sure this would be no exception. I would love to win this!!

  186. I would use this either with my son at home that has a love of reading (but is still learning to read) or/also in my classroom for another engaging tool for students to have to continue to learn to read! (both home and at school are first graders!)

  188. I would love to have a Nook for my classroom. Our school has 20 Ipads for the WHOLE school to share and it is very hard to get them to use in the classroom. A Nook would be great to have in my room for my students to use!!

  189. Wow! What an amazing giveaway. We have a few kindle fires in our classroom that my students use during centers to read and practice a varient of skills, so I would add the Nook to that. ry.hoos@gmail.com

  190. Any technology to use in my Kindergarten classroom would be a blessing! I would love to use more of it, but the funding just isn't there in my rural community. I would use the Nook for small groups, Read to Self and Listen to Reading and any other use I can find to enhance the learning in my classroom. :)

  191. What a great giveaway and just in time for the holidays!

  192. If I won, I'd use it for all the large books on my reading list. They are such a pain to haul around, but something like a Nook makes it easy!
