Using an iPod Touch in the Primary Classroom
Posted by Mrs Kathleen Morris on Monday, August 8th 2011
2011 is the fourth year I’ve been using an iPod Touch in my classroom. My students enjoy using these hand held devices and they can be used to enhance student learning in many different areas.
In this post I will describe how we set up our iPod Touches and how we use them.
Funding
In 2008, I was successful in applying for a DEECD Emerging Technologies Trial Grant. We purchase 8 iPod Touches and some professional development time.
Since then, our school has budgeted to purchase a small number of iPod Touches.
We generally buy our iPod Touches from BigW and get the lowest memory model.
More than half of the classes at our large primary school now have an iPod Touch in their room (we also have a small number of iPads that we’re beginning to trial).
Equipment
A headphone splitter was purchased for each iPod Touch which allow the device to be used by a group of five students at one time.
