Classroom+Ideas

=Classroom Ideas for using the iPod Touch=

Our teachers are bringing iPod Touch technology into the classroom for use in small groups, pair projects, centers, as well as whole group instruction.
 * Centers for K-3: listen to read-along book apps, do language arts, math, matching apps.
 * Small-group instruction with kindergarten writing Consonant-Vowel-Consonant words (Doodle Buddy)
 * Math apps as a center for 4th and 5th grade (various apps).
 * Whole-class instruction on math concepts (Long Division, Column Addition apps...)
 * Recording a Readers' Theater in 2nd grade (Voice Memo).
 * 1:1 Reading for fluency in 3rd grade (Voice Memo, earphones, accessing teacher/student-recorded podcasts through our mobile Wirenode app).
 * Pairs--Videotape each other reading a book (Camera)
 * 1:1 Watching a BrainPop video (3rd gr. +) then taking the quiz. (BrainPop)
