Here is a video that basically gives you every possible idea for using an IPod in you classroom.

I suggest you watch it, but I will summarize it for you.

The point of the video was trying to prove that you could store hundreds of paper files, a dozen technological devices, a ton of test scores, ( you get the point) or you could have one tiny ipod.

A few ideas..
Podcasting- record a lesson, learn a new language
Audiobooks- listen while you read
Video- animate a story by your class by using pictures
Demonstration- make a how-to-video, ITunes U, share online videos
Flash Cards- make your own or download
Presentations- convert power points, share charts, graphs and visuals
Reference-download a dictionary
Games- create your own quizzes
Living Text- write, listen, or watch a word ( great for speech and special education teachers!


Thats not even half of the examples this video provides, so WATCH IT!

Duke University thinks Ipods are so important in education that they give them to incoming freshmen. Yes, give.

A paragraph from the article...

"Expanding the use of information both in the classroom and in the campus community is part of the school's overall goals, said Tracy Futhey, Duke's vice president of information technology. The school is looking forward to ideas from the faculty and students about additional uses for the devices, Futhey said. The student newspaper, for example, might use the iPods to distribute a daily audio editorial."
