I experienced a couple bumps with the Nooks this week. Nothing major, but it wouldn't be a true pilot if I didn't share the snags alongside the positives.
One of these snags emerged during a simple attempt at humor. We are now well into Lloyd Jones' Mister Pip, a story that takes place on the island of Bougainville during the early 1990's. Due to a war over a copper mine, the mainland government shuts off all power and supplies to the island. While the island citizens struggle under these circumstances, one man on the island decides to run a school, which consists of reading Great Expectations to the children.

What else?
Look up a word.
Highlight.
Make a note.
These are the top these features my student have used on their Nooks. I’ve seen these features help my students effectively interact with Life of Pi. But just as in our final class discussion of LOP--when I want my students to dig deeper--I find myself asking, “What else?”
What else can our Nooks do?
