		<title>IOS in Schools: More Than Just “an app for that” Mentality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[iDevices are getting picked up left and right by educational institutions all over the place. Coming in all flavors, some are being used as 1:1, checked out devices, intervention tools, learning centers, etc… but the one thing I’ve picked up most on doing several pilots is while there may be an app for something, it is way more important to focus on routines, than one-off apps.
One of the biggest selling points, beyond their mobility, is the abundance of apps that can be downloaded and installed. Want something for multiplication? Fractions? ...]]></description>

		<title>Ipod Touch Apps for Class and Home Use Part 1: Mercury Browser</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Coverage of the iPod Program wouldn&#8217;t be complete without mentioning some of the apps that really make it happen. One of the biggest things we have to consider about apps to sync on the iPods is that not every student has WiFi at home. (A few don&#8217;t even have a computer). With this being the case, we were in need of apps that will work both online and off. The second thing we considered is the possibility of replacing heavy/outdated books with relevant/engaging content. This first app does both.

		<title>iPod Program Hardware Recommendations and Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s really easy to get caught up in the excitement of purchasing your first set of iPod Touches and forget about some of the necessary hardware that might be necessary to get your program up and running. This was an area that we had to learn as we went along. With that in mind, there are at least three things that you should definitely consider having as a part of your iPod program.
The cart.
Almost regardless of the amount of units you plan on deploying, you are going to want to ...]]></description>

		<title>About Our iPod Program</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll keep this post to the point and try and capture some of the unique points of our program and how it&#8217;s set up. I&#8217;ll leave the decisions behind why we&#8217;re doing what we&#8217;re doing for another post. This should give you a quick frame a reference to better understand some of the other posts.
Our trial run is running from January to May of 2010. Over the course of those months 83 students will be given iPod Touches to use in school and at home. The students weren&#8217;t selected so ...]]></description>

		<title>iPods in the Classroom and Home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bate Middle School recently received a grant through Striving Readers allowing us to pursue a pilot program using iPod Touches, but we didn&#8217;t want to chain them to classroom. We felt that in order to prepare students for a mobile society, they had to go home with them too. Over the course of the next year TeacherTechBlog will exclusively focus on the happenings of this project. The hope is that we will learn through these reflections and equip others to join in this vision. In upcoming posts, you&#8217;re going to hear about ...]]></description>
