ipod ipod_touch learning personal

While I think the iPod Touch could be an excellent learning tool (my iPhone certainly is), I’m also the resident curmudgeon about such things so naturally I have a few concerns about this initiative.

it’s clear that many people around here are looking at the iPod Touch the same way they do our current laptops.

Almost exclusively we use computers as group technologies. We have a bunch of them in a lab and then bring in a bunch of kids to use them for some teacher-designed activity.

However, the iPod Touch, and other pocket computing devices, are intended for personal use.

They are designed to be customized, personalizing the user’s experience so, instead of everyone seeing the same desktop, we all see ourselves in the device.

We just need to find people who are already using these devices in our schools (our IT department sees several thousand a day on the network) and invite them to tell us how they use their iPod Touch.

And the few instructional examples noted in the article are pretty much the same as some of the very superficial whiteboard lessons I’ve observed.

A search on "ipod touch" on Tim Stahmer's blog (www.assortedstuff.com) pulls up some interesting perspective.

“We think there are many areas in special education where this kind of technology can be successful, but we need data to make good decisions.”

  What of our tacit knowledge about learning, including that knowledge about the students? Is this no good? Can we not act upon what we know and not solely upon sterile data from a test?

  Granted, the iPad has potential in school, but this article, among many others, is so vague at how the device is different other than the screen size and a mention of it's price tag. iPads seem to be going the way of the IWB. I still contend that these won't be successful until they are made personal. Meaning, give it to the kid to have for the entire year. Let them take it home, play with it, read on it, correspond on it and make their learning personal. I'm currently in a pilot with iPads and the students are lukewarm to the device because they know it will go away or that they won't be able to make it work for them personally.

As the walls that divide television, computers, and cell phones crumble, it is increasingly clear that any device's fate will be decided by its ability to gather and present information on demand. And the cell phone has emerged, for now at least, as the single most important device in the global marketplace. Nokia has never managed to leverage its position as a world leader in handset sales to achieve similar dominance in the United States, where it has only 7% market share
