More ideas for using the iPod nano in the classroom

In addition to the obvious features (podcasts, video recording and voice memos), there are even more ways to use iPods in the classroom.

1.  FM Radio - The 5th generation Nano comes with built in FM Radio and has a pause and playback feature.  So, listening to radio shows and weather reports is easier than ever.

2. Pedometer - The 5th generation Nano has a built in pedometer, so you can use it with your class to track km walked/run for KM Club or any fitness challenge.

3.  Music - Yes, the 5th generation Nano plays music.  Of course this is what the Nano was designed for, but with all of the new "extra's" available on the Nano, this feature is often forgotten.  Find music quicker then ever without worrying about finding a CD or protecting a CD from scratches.  The Nano will automatically organize your music for you into Genius Mixes too!  Or allow students to listen to music while working independently, if this helps to block our distractions and concentrate.

Enjoy the iPods, Terry Fox Elementary!  I want to hear all about them!
