Blog about Chris Geeen's iPod touch project at his school. Has some very interesting ideas about how students can create quick products from research on the iPod touch. Worth looking at if you have access to mobile learning tools not just iPod, although some of the apps are specific to the iPod.

iPod Touch in the Classroom ideas. 

Great app for having students create an educational product. I know Apple says it's a business app, but it has the kinds of multi-media tool compilation that makes for great education tool.  Students can easily capture/create an image on the iPod, annotate or draw on it while they narrate, and most importantly of all students can then email it to the teacher.  Not only can they create, they can share! 

iPodTouch in education conversation. Lot of great information.

How to develop a circle equation in algebraic form when the circle touches the horizontal x-axis and learn how algebra is used in geometry to derive the equation of a circle in algebraic form in mathematics.

Great ideas of creating student work products on iPod Touch and iPads. Great ideas that include apps as well as routines/suggestions for usage.

Use of an iPod for instructional purposes is cool, but for the work we are doing in Africa this kind of thinking becomes important. The iPod/iPhone can become a way for sharing/organizing/storing documents. Teachers can use the wireless component of the tool to share materials when they have opportunities to gather.

I just spent the day working with teachers at WCHS and we talked about adding the NASA podcast to a wiki for students to respond to during each quarter and I would add this kind of site as a useful resource that would let a student make connections between different topics/concepts they have been studying and "real life" science. I don't think you would ever know exactly what you would get here, which is why I like it. Let the students really work and explore on their own to make connections. As a teacher, let the students create a rubric with you, model an example for them and one with them, and then put the idea out there as a long term project that you touch base on on occasion. Thoughts/responses?

Takes the new Google Chrome browser, but is pretty cool. Look and touch all of the parts of the human body. 

An educator's resources for mobile learning. Focus' podcasting and movie making using iPods, iPod touch, iPhone, iPad, and netbooks
