![]() There are endless educational possibilities for iPods and iPads as classroom instructional devices. The most wonderful part of using iPods to teach is that you only have to teach content--not how to use the device as most kids have played with an IPod before or know a parent, etc that has an iPhone. My favorite apps on the IPods are facejack and the QR code reader. Facejack is a fun app that closely resembles the Blabberize website. A picture is uploaded into the app, the mouth of the picture defined and then the students record something into the app that they want the picture to say. When done, the mouth moves and the students can hear the picture speak in their voice! Great for fluency and biographies!!
I am also attaching the cheat sheet that was created to help teachers remember how to use an IPod touch. This cheat sheet was created by a colleague of mine who had to do a presentation for her graduate class. My job was to mentor her through this presentation.
