[|Beginning-online-learning 100-ways-to-use-your-ipod-to-learn-and study-better] I really liked this article that Allyssa Andersen because it gave me a lot of different ways to use ipods in the classroom. I want to look into a few more of these websites to see how I can use them in the classroom. I already see a few that I want to look into further for my classes, as a parent for my high school son and for other teachers in my building. I can't believe that all the applications that are already out there and how many that will be there in the next few weeks, months, and years.

[|Pros and Cons of iPods in the Classroom] Yes, well I thought the article that  Brad Dunning found on the Pros and Cons of Using iPods in the Classroom was very refreshing. We have a no use policy of electronic devices in our classrooms unless we provide them for the students which with the economy taking a huge dip we can't even afford to have enough teachers. We have students using these devices and as teachers we need to be modeling appropriate usage and the school with the students should come up with rules for appropriate use and non-appropriate use and the consequences of certain non- appropriate action. We need to change policies as technology changes. With the with the phones having internet access becoming much more affordable students will have a lot more valuable resources at a touch of the button, please pardon the pun.

What a great find by Jesse Lindauer. What a great video clip to show your school administrators, school board members, other teachers and parents to show how iPods can be used in the classroom. I love it. I hope that I can share this with others at my school and district, this just shows us that this investment in technology will only benefit our students to grow to new levels. media type="youtube" key="N6LlA2SztY8" width="425" height="350"
