"Do you want to use more than one iPod with the same computer? You can! In fact there are a couple of different ways you can do it."
While introduced as a hard drive based music player in 2001, the iPod has evolved into an essential tool for literacy in the 21st century. The availability of educational content is staggering. There are podcasts on everything from math to history to science to learning a foreign language. There is even a podcast on basket weaving.
What is even more amazing is how easy it is for students and teachers to create their own digital content for the iPod. Students can then guide their own learning at their own pace, and review content on-demand. This idea of anywhere-anytime learning means the student is no longer tethered to the classroom learning environment.
Charge and synchronize content to as many as 20 iPod and iPhone devices from a single iTunes library. This durable, attractive and lightweight docking solution makes managing and sharing large
quantities of devices easier than ever.
In this list we’ve assembled ten of the must-have iPhone applications for students heading back to school. These apps will help you stay organized, take notes, and study better.
Are iPods in the classroom a distraction? Perhaps. Pencils - now those are real distractions - always having to sharpen them, kids throw them, they write inappropriate notes with them, they can use them to cheat, they poke each other with them, they get pencil lead stuck in their fingers, they steal them, etc. I think we should ban 'em. Now, am I trying to convince everyone to run out and buy ipods for all students? No, I'm not. I am suggesting, however, that they're worth exploring. This website will link to general information and educational apps for the ipod
Although you're not likely to see schools issuing an iPhone to every faculty and staff member, the fact is that the iPhone is a great tool for education. Whether you're a teacher, librarian, or other educator, there are a number of apps that can help you do your job better. Here, we'll take a look at 50 of these apps and what they can do for you.
We have been considering the idea that today’s students are digital learners and we intend to find out if the iPod Touch can assist children to learn through digital delivery of content .
Teaching practices in the upper primary school have been traditional and teacher-centred and we would like to attempt to move to a student-centered learning environment via the use of the iPod Touch.
Session notes, presentation, links from NECC 09 - GREAT STUFF
These pages includes free or almost free apps for K-12 teachers and students. The list is by no means definitive.
This is a viral wiki created as part of the Birds of a Feather, Using iTouch and iPhones for Teaching and Learning, at NECC 2009 held on Monday, June 29, 2009.
There are 1,360 apps tagged for children in the iTunes app store, with thousands of ratings and user comments. To sort through the maze of offerings, here are some of the most mentioned in response to an earlier tweet I made (thanks to the hundreds who responded), arranged by age, from young to old. Please add your suggestions and criticisms; and make the list longer.
Once considered just a portable music player, the iPod now is making a splash in many K-12 and college classrooms. Discover how this popular new technology is being used for teaching and learning. Included: Case studies, information on podcasting, lesson plan ideas, and discussion groups.
If you think that iPods are used just for listening to music, you obviously haven't been keeping up with the latest technology. The Apple-developed music player now features all kinds of accessories to help you study better, and now other companies are in a rush to get their designs in sync with the iPod. Pre-teens, college kids and even adults are taking advantage of the educational benefits an iPod affords them. From downloadable podcasts to just-for-iPod study guides and applications, learning on the go has never been easier. To find out about the many different ways you can transform your iPod into a learning device, check out our list below.
Enhance curriculum, increase student achievement, and learn creative new ways to develop innovative lessons with the use of the iPod. The purpose of this presentation is to provide educators with exciting new skills to enable them to utilize iPods as tools for classroom instruction. Participants will learn how easily the iPod can be integrated into all content curriculum areas to engage students, increase achievement, and foster creative learning.
I've had a LOT more iPhone apps recommended given by my Twitter friends. Remember that I learned recently that the maximum number of screens you can have on your iPod/iTouch is 9. Each screen can hold a maximum of 16 apps. This means the most apps you can have at any time on the device is 144.
