Greater Johnstown High School principal, Mr.Vuckovich, ordered forty Nooks from Barnes & Noble, and will be ordering more soon, due to the overwhelming request and eagerness to use them from both students and teachers alike. A Nook is an electronic book reader that is based on the Android platform. Nooks include wi-fi and AT&T wireless connectivity, plus a 6-inch E-Ink display and a separate smaller touch screen that is the primary input device. The main purpose for ordering the Nooks is to help increase the reading fluency and vocabulary of the students. They are available to all teachers upon request. The teachers can download numerous books for the students to read. Mr. Vuckovich wants students to enjoy reading and to want to read more, so he is trying to make reading more enjoyable for our generation, which is surrounded by technology on a daily basis.
