11.5 Thing 6 -- iTouch Apps

Having received 12 iPod Touches in my library, I have downloaded several educational apps -- a variety including those to reinforce math facts, states & capitals games, fairy tales, connect 4 type, and others. Easy to do, and easy to sync all the iPods with the cart.

Maybe I'm being simplistic, but I see the iPod Touches as another way to access information in the library. Students can use it to find websites, and thus information, to practice skills, to view videos, etc. I could see teachers having wikis with assignments and even instructional videos, all accessible through the iPod Touches. I'm eager to have the "new" wear off so the kids can get down to work with them!
