I'm running a pilot program in NYC schools using the iPhone as a tool of field science. Back in the classroom, the students review what they logged on the iPhone in the field. The program is called <a href="http://thewildlab.org" target="_blank">http://thewildlab.org</a>. We provide the iPhones. Touches would work as long as there is wifi around; we make the sightings more accurate (while teaching some STEM skills) by taking lat/long coordinates with each sighting.

We're working on an Android version and plan on making the app itself available for free in the iTunes store at the beginning of 2010. It would be great to get classrooms using the iPhones/Touches involved from around the country.

Kelly did you write the Grant? What were the results. I would love to be able to use Youtube in class but our district blocks it on school computers. I am trying to get my Principal to buy just one ITouch. Anyone have ideas on Apps for 6th Science.

I am trying to talk my principal into buying 1 ITouch for my classroom for now, before I ask for more. I teach 6th grade Science in Tn. Alot of Earth and Physical Science (Solar System, Tides, Currents, Electricity, etc.) are a few of the things that we cover. Any one know how I go about getting apps written? I see alot of potential for this. I would like one that describes and demonstrates seasons, eclipes, and tides. If you could show students the Earth Moon and Sun relationship it could be…

This proposal was put through my school division to a provincial grant fund. Not too sure what the equivalent would be in the US, but in Alberta, Canada we have (or had until this year) a technology innovation fund that supports innovative uses of Tech.

Hi Michael -<br />
Are you interested in phonemic awareness and/or phonics apps for the iPod Touch?<br />
What grade levels, specifically, are you interested in?<br />
<br />
I may be able to help you.

I am a Principal in New York. We are piloting an ipod touch program. We have 100 units in the building and 2 wireless carts that have a full class set. Teachers can sign the cart out on a shared school Google calendar. We use them primarily right now for the educational aps but we have and will contiune to develop the ways of using them such as:<br />
<br />
Screen cast lesson for review, centers or for students (possible athletes who want to study on busses to games)<br />

Creating and listening to/viewing pod cast<br />

We are in the initial stages and are always looking for more ways to utilize this tool. Any ideas?<br />
<br />
The kids and teachers love using them, we are now trying to ensure that this technology resources is used to enhance lesson and not a substitute for content and strong lessons.<br />

I have read this discussion with the hopes of learning from others on how the iPod touch is being used to enhanced student achievement. We have just received our order of 550 Touches that will be spread over 5 schools. It is our initial plans on using the Touch to strengthen mathematics and reading skills. To do this we are planning on using Apps already available on the iTunes store. We will be using the Bretford cart with the goal of sync-ing the Touch to iTunes. One discussion talked about…
I have read this discussion with the hopes of learning from others on how the iPod touch is being used to enhanced student achievement. We have just received our order of 550 Touches that will be spread over 5 schools. It is our initial plans on using the Touch to strengthen mathematics and reading skills. To do this we are planning on using Apps already available on the iTunes store. We will be using the Bretford cart with the goal of sync-ing the Touch to iTunes. One discussion talked about problems with sync-ing 20 iPods. I hope to share with others on their successes with getting large numbers of devices sync. Also I would like to hear about what Apps might be being used at the elementary and middle school levels.<br />

I'm impressed with the discussion I've read and that encouraged me to join this community of educators. I'm looking forward to learning from everyone.

How did you display the presentations - what kind of cables and which software would display through your projector? thanks for any information.
