CPS friendly
Cost – Simple Touch
No internet access on the device

the school’s Wi-Fi network
2 year warranty program

7. Barcode-Barcode-Barcode
Use the provided grouping sequence
Connect to the school’s WiFi Network
Purchase sillicone covers
Charge devices at the school
Turn off the WiFi to preserve the
battery

13. Have a orientation session with the students
Discuss how the devices should be treated
Discourage students from cleaning the
devices
Have iClean and microfiber cloths ready for
use
Use the videos on Barnesandnoble.com as an
additional resource

14. Create a NOOK use permission slip
- student/parent/guardian is responsible for the
damaged or stolen device
- include permission to read adult content
- include permission to use images on social media
Discuss when and where devices should be used
- i.e. in class
- i.e. on public transportation
Discuss when students should bring devices to
school

15. Try to have a ‘themed’
snack for the meeting

16. Charge battery prior to returning defective
devices
Select one book a month for discussion
Students requested eReaders for graduation
and birthday presents
(this worked well for me – Communicate with
Book club members through text messaging.

17. The students read the selected books
very fast
Classroom behavior improved
Use free books for your avid readers
Parents/family members read the
books too

18. Reading class LOVED using the
NOOKs
Students enjoyed using the built
in dictionary and notes section
The students created a friendly
‘competition’ between classes
Great team teaching activity
between Library Media Specialist
