iPod Touch Ideas and Tips for the Classroom
Sunday, December 12, 2010 at 10:07AM Kevin, at Kevin's Meandering Mind, recently wrote a post about his classroom set of iPod Touches. He pointed to Tom's Barrett's Ways to Use the iPod Touch and selected some of his favorite ideas from the presentation...
"I like the ideas of:
- Collaborative flashcards
- Collaborative stories
- Google surveys
- Type Drawing for visual stories (new one to me)
- Martian App allows you to create an alien (and then your partner has to draw a replica based on descriptive language)
- Story Kit for writing and publishing a book
- Using iPadio for interviews and sharing at our blog (hmmm — I will need a little iPod microphone, though)"
(via Kevin's Meandering Mind)
My personal favorites from Tom's presentation (slide #'s included) are...
- #3: Collaborative story building with Voice Memos
- #9: Creation of a mini listening center with a "Belkin RockStar"
- #16: Use of "Instapaper" for sharing articles
- #18: "Storykit" for creating a book
- #20: Probabilities and percentages with "iChoose"
Have you done something similar to the ideas above with iPod Touches in your classroom?
