CLEARWATER - Social studies teacher Kathy Biddle was giving a lecture recently when she noticed a handful of students fiddling with their Kindles, the hand-held devices Clearwater High School made available to all its students at the beginning of the year.
Biddle stopped her lesson. She scolded her charges, telling them to focus on what she was saying. She thought they were texting their friends or looking at Facebook. They weren't. The students were taking notes on Biddle's lecture, using a feature on the electronic book-reader called 'My Clippings.' They then instructed the rest of the class how to do it.
