**I have to agree with the comment left above ^^ and say iPad. There are so many educational apps on there that can be used to further education through the use of technology and the ease of it's portability is great for the school environment where carrying heavy books and notebooks is not only cumbersome but worrysome. You take the risk of forgetting something rather then having it all in one easy place. **  **There has been much discussion about the usage of Kindles or Nooks in the classroom to read books. I think that, although personally I prefer old-fashioned books, this kind of technology could give the students a new and different way to read. I think that since this kind of technology is so new, and middle level students get excited about what trend is popular at the time, they might get interested and more excited to read if they had the option to use Kindles to read in school.**  
 * I would choose the iPad or another tablet-like technology. Tablets are lightweight and mobile, but they have a very large storage capacity. Instead of carrying around heavy textbooks, papers, and notebooks we could consolidate our class into one application or folder available on iPads or other brands of tablets. **
