By getting Kindle Fire's in our math classroom, it gives our students several opportunities they do not have yet. There are several apps available to help increase math skill and thinking. By using Kindles in the classroom, it opens up an additional center that is more independent. By having an independent center, it allows for smaller groups and a more direct focus on what my students really need. I can spend more time with specific kids that are behind and work on intervention skills. The groups would be better developed because they are smaller. By being smaller, I can put more students that lack the same skills into the same group versus skipping that skill or making someone who might know the skill revisit it when it isn't necessary. Our school does not allow our student Chromebooks to access YouTube. With that being said, we cannot use websites like Khan Academy because their videos are streamed through YouTube. By having the Kindles, students can use those to watch the videos provided by the informational math website. The Kindles would be an additional "teacher" in the room because it is another resource for students to find answers.
