    Hi Kathy:
    I have been to Buffy Hamilton’s website to learn about Kindles. She used a permission slip that you created. I wondered if I might be able to also use and adapt it. Could you send it to me?
    We are just beginning the world of the Kindle at our library.

    Thanks.

    • Yes Joanne,
      You are more than welcome to use and adapt the Kindle permission slip. :)
      Best,
      Kathy

      • Hi Kathy,

        We are going to purchase 18 Kindles for our library. Would you mind if I used the permission slip you created for your Kindles and adapt it?

        Thanks.

      • Good afternoon, Marian the Librarian!!
        We must be kindred spirits. :)
        Yes, you may use the permission slip for your school. Congratulations starting up a Kindle program at your school!

    I am a new librarian at at Pre-K – 5 library in Killeen, Texas. I have starting researching the use of e-readers in the classroom and want to see how an e-reader would benefit at-risk/reluctant readers and I discovered your blog. I want to use the NOOKcolor for my trial. I would like to adapt your documents (policy documents) for our elementary needs. Any ideas or suggestions you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

    Sincerely,
    Libby

    • Morning Libby,
      Yes, please feel free to use and adapt our policy for the Kindle – in your case, the Nook. I have two teachers at my school that could help you with your questions concerning the benefits of e-books with at-risk/reluctant readers. I’ll send there email addresses to you as well as mine.
      Best,
      Kathy

    Hi!
    First I would like to say I love all that you do for the students. I am a doctoral student with Grand Canyon University. My dissertation study examines the use of e-readers with students currently enrolled in grades 3-6 with a formal diagnosis of autism. Would it be possible for me to email or speak with you privately? I love all that you did with kindles in the classroom and I know you are one of the few experts in this area.

    Thank You,
    Christina

  6. We have acquired 9 Kindles for our Library. May I use your Permission slip for our school?
