Hi from Pennsylvania,
I am a computer teacher and school tech coordinator in a middle school.
Thanks for getting back to me! I have 30 student iPods and a microphone for each one.
I am currently trying to figure out how to efficiently charge and sync all of them simultaneously. What company manufactures the cart you have? I didn't think there was anything like that. I'd love to purchase one for my iPods. I also thought of doing podcasts, maybe even having students create them. Can you tell me more about how you've done that?
What apps do you find useful for the students? A few I've found are: History Maps, Art Lite, US Presidents, USA Fact Book, Dictionary.com and Stanza (a book reader app--excellent and free!) Right now, I'm working on coming up with a good handful of apps to pre load on all of the iPods.
Right now, I'm just trying to come up with ideas for how to use them; a few classes are piloting them on a limited basis.
My school district filter jumbles up the classroom 2.0 site and I have trouble working with it during the day. Could you email me? Or maybe we could Google Wave? I saw your discussion on Wave...I'm on Wave as well. My gmail address/Wave name is:

glennontech@gmail.com

Thanks!
Mike

I forgot...maybe we can do some collaboration? I teach in a computer lab, so I have access to all kinds of equipment. Could be fun! Let me know.

Hi,
My district fixed Classroom 2.0. so now it works at school. I would love to collaborate with you! I teach computer technology and you teach Japanese language and culture...what ideas can we come up with?
