iPods and iPads in the Classroom | Startl - 1 views

  • You are here: Home » iPhone App » iPods and iPads in the Classroom iPods and iPads in the Classroom 0 Comments and 0 Reactions January 14, 2011 | The Startl Team The Herald Journal posted an article this week detailing one school’s use of iPods and iPads in the classroom.  Kids and teachers alike find these devices not just entertaining but useful in learning as well.  Something that we at Startl have seen first-hand through our Developer Boost and Accelerator programs. Students are using the popular gadget to practice math skills, learn how to read and improve English fluency. In the last year, iPods and iPads have been introduced into Logan classrooms. According to local educators, kids have excelled because of it. Classrooms have iPods or iPads available for various curriculum throughout the day. In Jen Green’s English as a Second Language class at Adams Elementary, students in kindergarten through fifth grade use iPods. On Tuesday morning, a handful of them spent about 40 minutes working on iPods. To help kids with reading and fluency, Green has students use iPods to record themselves reading. Green and the student then listen to the recording together. They hear any errors, and then the student reads and records again until they have read it correctly in a certain amount of time. Green said student progress has been “unbelievable.” With one student, she saw results in just minutes. Green has kept some of the recordings to measure progress. By listening to the child’s first recorded reading, it was difficult to understand what they were saying. Green played a reading recorded 15 minutes later and the words were clear and understandable. While we see a broader adoption of use of apps and devices in the classroom, the question to ask is how can teachers evaluate what apps suit their needs best and how will they be integrated into the classroom?

  • The best app I have found for voice recording and being able to use the audio elsewhere is called iPro Recorder because you can download the recording over a wireless network onto a computer and re-edit it in a program like Garage Band or Audacity. I found that Audioboo is a great site to host podcasts and share them with others. You can also easily embed them on your blog, wiki or website.

    "Bringing iPods and iPads into the classroom is a great way to give students access to learning tools. However, there are so many things to keep in mind to make the devices work smoothly in the classroom. While this list of dos and don'ts mainly addresses iPod touch the same advice goes for iPod touch and iPhone. The list is for large or small class sets of handhelds;"

  • Today, new to Google Labs is a little tool called Swiffy.  Swiffy let’s you upload a SWF file (otherwise known as Flash) and convert it to HTML5.  Sweet.  This means that you can use flash content on devices without a Flash player (i.e. iPhones, iPads and iPod Touch).
  • Zoodles is geared for toddler to third grade (8 year old)
  • What it is: Zoodles makes it possible to have a “kid safe” mode on every device: Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch and Android.  Zoodles includes wonderful features for technology use in the classroom and at home.

    "First, my friend Harry Walker developed a great rubric for evaluating apps for ipods/ipads for classroom use. It's here. Second, I've tried, in vain, to keep an updated list of "favorite apps" but it's such a moving target, it's nearly impossible. I've listed just a sampling of apps below to get you started. Be sure to check out this list, or go to Apple's listing of popular Education apps for even more. You should also know now that Apple offers educational volume pricing for iPod/iPad apps for classrooms. Click here for FAQ."
