A school full of Kindles (photo from 2010)

Principal at Clearwater High School in Clearwater, Florida

Interview Starts at 24:02

I think eventually what you’ll see is the school will buy X number of devices for those that don’t have or can’t afford them, and then kids will be bringing their own devices, so it will be a blend. I really see that happening, kind of what you see now when you think about the pencil, the pen, and paper where folks are bringing their own materials.
