<p>I need some advice. I am trying to get a mobile device to use with my special education students in K,1,2 and 4th grades. I need something that can access the web and use content on sites like Starfall.com and mangahigh. I also want something that can be used as an ereader so I can load books for my kids to read in class. Does anyone know what the capabilities are for the ipod touch, Nook or Kindle to cover these needs? Ipad would probably be the best but price is an issue. </p>

Get a $250 Android tablet in just a few steps.tag:www.classroom20.com,2011-03-14:649749:Topic:6113282011-03-14T18:47:31.443ZKaty Scotthttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/KatyScott
<p>With a price tag of $400-$830, I just couldn't justify getting an iPad (much less a fleet to use with students). So when I heard that it was possible to turn a $250 Nook Color into and Android Tablet, I was intrigued.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did some online research and a few hours later, I had a rooted Nook, which has virtually the same functionality as a first-generation iPad for half the price.</p>
