What to do with the school-owned iPod touch?

May 9, 2008

Here’s me asking for help…

I found out the other day that my school bought an 8GB iPod Touch a few months ago. They had bought it with the intention of seeing whether this kind of wireless, handheld device had any serious implications for education. They’ve not seen any yet, so they gave it to me to try.

I’m sure there are loads of posts about this already, but I’d love to hear the best ways to use this in a classroom setting, my classroom to be specific.

So what do you think? How does this bad boy fit into a classroom routine?

NB: I’m not going to jailbreak it, so let’s stick with stuff that’s on the level.

Going to remain a linkblog for a while

May 7, 2008

Hello faithful readers.

According to feedburner there are roughly 600 of you signed up to receive this blog’s updates via RSS. I don’t have a line on how many of you are subscribed to the normal RSS feed outside of feedburner.

Either way, if you’re reading this, thanks for sticking around. I don’t think what’s offered here is of much value, since I don’t put any time into blogging.

Fair warning, given my summer grad school schedule, this will likely remain a link blog for a few more months. Heck, it may never turn into more. Who knows?

If you’re ok with that, stay subscribed. If not, no hard feelings. I might live blog something at NECC if I go, but no promises.

Chris
