This blog post will serve to document my first implementation of the iPod-Touch in a classroom setting. I will update the experience as I work with the teacher and students.
Grade Level: 6
Subject Area(s): Reading, Math
Teacher: Mrs. D.
Start Date: 11.02.09
Number of iPod-Touches available to teacher: 2 school units, 1 personal unit
To begin this implementation, I contacted my 6th grade teacher and made her aware of the availability of two iPod-Touches. I asked her if she would like to try using them as drill-and-practice with her students in the area of Language Arts & Math. In addition to the drill & practice, of course, we would branch off and allow the students access to the Internet through the units, and hopefully spark some classroom communication through email messages sent to the teacher from the units. I will work with the students on using the Copy/Paste functionality of the units to gather information from webpages, paste it into the "notes" app, and then send that data to themselves to be used in other areas of their study. Initially, the implementation will run from November 2 through December 21, 2009. After the holiday break, we may choose to continue the trial, or switch the units to another teacher, to widen the scope of the trial.
Apps loaded to the two iPod-Touches include:

I'll be updating this blog post soon. (Just haven't had the time to get back to it.) All-in-all, the implementation is going well so far.
