Ipod Touch in Education

I have a class of 30 Year 8 students (12 years old) and a set of eight iPod Touch that we will be using when we start our school year in two weeks time. I am interested in hearing about feedback on peoples experiences, ideas and/or suggestions in relation to using the iPod Touch in education. Thank you.

Matt - I am using a tool called Mobl21 to create my own lesson plans for my class. The best part of this is that we can generate our own content rather than a fixed content strategy from other apps. In addition there is some structural guidance on what can be accomplished. Give it a try, I believe you can sign-up directly on the site of the same name.

Yes, but if you purchased your Ipod touches from Apple, you only get a 1 year warranty and then after that you are on your own. You can also restore it to the original settings and it is "unjailbroken"

We are in a Pepsi contest right now to win 3 itouch labs for our school and we need a lot of support. We are currently ranked 9th and need to be in the top ten to win, but we need to stay there until June 1st. Will you please have your faculty, students, family and friends vote for us each day until June 1st. Some people don't understand the importance of this project, but I thought that you would! Please spread the word and help us!

Matt,

How is the use of the iPod touches going. My school is contemplating buying 15 for each 8th grade history class so I am looking to see how other teachers are using them.

I am the principal of a school in Baltimore County that is piloting the use of IPods in our fourth and fifth grade classrooms. We have some cool things going on. Check out my blog for details....

We are looking for folks to share our learning and to collaborate.
