We are still at the using applications stage, but will be soon getting students creating and sharing I have a blog on Edna as part of a deewar project and a blog on here

I don't have a document camera sadly.. just using screenshots to demo things, and as my groups are only 4 kids they can mostly see the screen of an iPod touch also. Ok, ta for stopping by!

They save screenshots of their chosen apps for me to review... The potential really is unlimited – I love that kids can search the app store but not download (I do that later).

I'm glad to hear that it seems to have "set up" quite well. I understand your challenges regarding the other things you need to do to physically support the learning with these devices though. Having a supportive staff will also be invaluable to you as sometimes I think that is half the battle in introducing new ideas to a school. Do you have a document camera to project your iPod Touch work on? We're trying to work out how we can get one. I did see Wes Warner using a neat video camera hooked into the laptop and then into a data projector instead of an expensive document camera though and I thought that was a neat solution to the problem. Itching to try it myself! Well done - exciting stuff isn't it! How exciting! I’m glad to hear that it seems to have “set up” quite well.

I only have 2 ipod touches and my iphone, but I am not ready to unleash children in itunes yet. However, they love the ipods and apps, we are using them to test reflexes in the morning and then the afternoon, collecting data and then analysing to see if there is any trends. I am hoping to have a heap more next year and I am currently preparing a video that my students this year are putting together to show how great they are. Hoping to get support for a similar project. Good Luck!! Bob Hi Jonathon, Thanks for sharing your progress, sounds a very interesting project. I only have 2 ipod touches and my iphone, but I am not ready to unleash children in itunes yet.

We have purchased 6 ipod touches to use in a year 6 classroom and a year 1 classroom. We have highly motivated teachers who are keen to see what possibilities the ipod touch could offer a primary school class. We have recently aquired the devices and one teacher has selected applications that students can use for their learning. I would like to explore online quizes using google docs and blogging and wikkis, as well as student produced podcasts and read a-long story books. look forward to keeping up to date with this blog We are starting a similar project using Ipod touches in the classroom as part of a deewar ICT integration project.
