| Hi-tech chapter in school history as children get Kindles |
| Posted by: Susan Einhorn |
| CHILDREN at a Farnworth school are to be given Kindles to encourage reading. The initiative to handout the electronic reading device to pupils is the idea of the new headteacher at Harper Green School, Bob Flood, who took up his position this week. The 52-year-old fatherof- two said: “The investment in technology in this school is as good as any new school being built. “Young people can use iPads when in school and they will be given Kindles to take home, because on a Kindle you can do nothing but read. It is to engage more young people in reading.” |
