The iPods have arrived!! Thanks Dan and the Terry Fox PAC for purchasing iPods for our school. Here is a quick video about some of the features of the iPods Terry Fox just received. I am so excited about them and everything that our students and staff will be able to do in our classrooms with them. I believe strongly in the benefits of this tool in the classroom. There are so many ways to use the iPods and I plan to dedicate the next few posts to the iPod and different ideas for using them. So stay tuned!!
In the mean time, I encourage you to charge up the iPods and bring them into your classroom. My guess is that even if you don't know how to use them, some of your students will...yes even in Kindergarten...and you can spend time playing and learning about the features and capabilities together. This particular iPod is called the iPod nano 5th generation (just in case you want to watch 'how to' videos on YouTube) and has been out for a year, so some of your students will definitely have one at home. Have fun playing...
Looking forward to trying them out, and I'll let you know how it goes in the next few weeks. Our first project is to "publish" our class fairytale and post it on our website. Stay tuned!
