Links to learning with an ipod touch

So many apps so little time.

The potential for the ipod touch in the classroom and in the hands of so many students is exciting. In a classroom recently a teacher asked how many students owned an ipod touch, at least half of the hands went up. How many of them use it for school work? Less hands.

While educators eyes light up at the potential, students see them as mostly music and games. The connection to learning has to be made for them, unless of course the learning is in the form of a game. (Future post on educational apps)

To start to find out more about the ipod touch in the classroom I keep going back to the following resources that have useful examples and ideas.
