EDUCATIONAL IDEAS:

1. 1.The teacher creates content for student learning. (Just as you were introduced to at this session!)
   

2. 2.The students are assigned an SOL or Competency to find resources in order to CREATE a lesson and ultimately transfer this information to the iPod Touch. These can include videos, powerpoints, images, .pdf files, etc. This could be introductory or review.
   

3. 3.The students CREATE a ppt., a skit that is recorded, or a podcast that is transferred to the iPod Touch.
   

4. 4.The teacher records her lecture for the day and transfers it to the iPod Touch for later review or for students who were absent.
   

5. 5.THE APPS!! There are tons of Educational Applications for the iPod Touch.
   

6. 6.Utilize a blog to record real-time responses from students.
