iPods in the Classroom and Home

Bate Middle School recently received a grant through Striving Readers allowing us to pursue a pilot program using iPod Touches, but we didn’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’re going to hear about implementation, apps that make it happen, and strategies for classroom management. Feel free to join us in the journey by submitting your thoughts, ideas, and questions.
This is an area that really intrigues me. Why schools want to ban a tool that kids WANT to use is beyond me. I’ll be interested to hear how your teachers incorporate this into student learning, especially at the elementary level (this being an area where I have little experience for integration). Thanks for being willing to showcase not just the project but also the process of using these iPod touches
