A student's vision of iPod (iSchool) use in the classroom
Practically everything you need to know about using an iPod in Education
Tony has a great series of podcasts available either on his website or through iTunes (free for Mac or PC) called “Learning in Hand: iPods.” (Search on “Tony Vincent” in iTunes-you’ll find it faster.)
Tony regularly adds content to his podcasts, so I highly recommend you subscribe!
Dena Brudecki's (LMS at Plymouth Schools) wiki about iPod iTouch in the classroom. (Lots of links to amazing resources!)
Dr. Monica Rankin, Professor of History at the School of Arts and Humanities at UT Dallas, wanted to reach more students and involve more people in class discussions both in and out of the classroom. She had heard of Twitter... She collaborated with the UT Dallas, Arts and Technology - Emerging Media and Communications (EMAC) faculty to create this experiment. This video is absolutely worth a look. (posted by Ian Jukes)
Lesson Plans
Apple has a collection of lesson plans created by teachers who are using iPods that are published online.
NOTE: Many of these use an iPod external microphone which comes with the newest versions of the iPod touch (it's built in to the headphone cord.) You can also buy external mics from a number of online sources. Just be sure that the one you buy works with your model. If you don't have the newest iPod touch, you may also need to get a record app from the iTunes store. (Several to choose from.)
On the Apple site, you will be able to download a pdf of the lesson plan and listen to a sample.
Here are some brief descriptions of just some of the lessons you’ll find there:
Radio Show: Students write a radio drama based on a historical event and record their show (complete with commercials) using an iPod and voice recorder
Listening to Letter Sounds: The teacher records a lesson onto an iPod using a voice recorder. Students follow the lesson and use an iPod to practice recording and listening to letter sounds.
Digital Science Experiments: Students listen to instructions prerecorded by their teacher on an iPod. They then record their science experiment using a digital camera and an iPod with a voice recorder and create an iMovie project.
Newcomers Learn Local History: English language learners create a presentation about their community and use an iPod and voice recorder to record it in both English and thier native language to share at a family night event.
This wiki is a natural product. The slight variations in spelling and grammar enhance its individual character and beauty and in no way are to be considered flaws or defects. My thoughts do not always necessarily reflect the thoughts of my employer.
