Ipods in the classroom

I am interested in how I can further grow the use of ICT tools with my class of year 3/4 so am trialling the use of an Ipod touch. Ideally a small group of Ipods would be better but one is better than none.I am in the process of downloading free educational apps and have had success in finding apps for maths, spelling, reading and spelling.I have also downloaded journal stories from itunes on my laptop.I found this slideshow on managing ipods in the class so will use this to ensure the use of the ipod within my class is beneficial to learn and not just viewed as a "fun gadget".On Monday I plan to teach two chn who will then be the ipod experts to teach others. The ipod will be integrated into maths and reading, to start with. I will also get chn to take photos and videos and use an app to make a movie.My overall goal is to document the use of this ipod (videos, photos, reflections, student voice) to prove their effectiveness of raising student motivation and achievement. I could then possibly apply to the Board and/or PTA to fund more ipod touches or Ipads for each classroom at school or for those teachers wishing to use them.I would love your thoughts, questions....Ipod Touch Conf
