At Skyline High School, at least a dozen uses are planned for the 100 iPod Touches that were awarded via the technology grant.
The uses will undoubtedly lead to hundreds of future projects, said Pete Pasque, instructional technologist at the school. They are “productivity tools to help manage what students are learning,” he said. “It’s so exciting to have students as creators. That’s what we’re trying to do at Skyline.”
Pasque said he hopes to see the iPod Touches used for everything from recording band practices in order to review music to accelerometers in science class. There’s even talk of putting an iPod in a football helmet, running a play and charting and graphing the impact in Microsoft Excel.
“Teachers come to me and say ‘hey Pete, I want to do this’ … and I say ‘OK let me figure it out,’” Pasque said. “It’s going to make it more real world for the kids.”
Uzelac said she had so many requests for iPod Touch grants from Skyline, that she asked for a combined proposal. Skyline had a dozen teachers ask for 500 as a school; Skyline was given 100 in the grant process.

Colley said the iPads, which will cost about $500 each, would store “$700 to $1,000” worth of textbooks, a calculator and note-taking materials. “It’s going to be the equivalent of the textbooks, if not more,” he said, noting that most textbooks cost $80 to $100 and a graphing calculator costs $125.
