The technology need in my classroom

As I stepped into my classroom today to drop off items I have bought during the summer, I suddenly noticed my 2 computers are less than what I consider ideal for my students this year. We are fortunate to have a computer lab; however, I want my students to be able to use technology in my classroom. We are focused on literacy and integrating science and SS into the curriculum but I do not have enough nonfiction books to meet this new need. So, as I stood there I realized it is going to be up to me to meet this need for my students. I am going to have to take the creative steps of finding technology for them to use (we have a partnership with the public library so I can access books online via Kindle Fires, Ipads, etc...) So, now I am on a quest of somehow buying 6 Kindle Fires for my classroom for a daily center. Sometimes as a teacher we just have to learn to be creative in our methods to meet our students needs and this is a need I deem highly important for their academic success.
