Do So Much with an iPod Touch » Moving at the Speed of Creativity - 0 views

  • hese are my notes from Tony Vincent’s NECC 2009 presentation, “Do So Much with an iPod Touch!.” His notes are available with all the links! This was a fantastic presentation in all respects. Tony is a model presenter, very engaging, so relevant with specific classroom examples, has such depth of experience as a classroom teacher with his extensive Palm background, I could go on and on. If you are looking for a professional development guru to work with teachers and students and the iPod Touch, look no further than Tony Vincent.

  • If you’re interested in locking down content, why not pretty it up and turn it into a webpage?  There are plenty of free places to post static content if price is an issue.  If you’re going to use a wiki, I would encourage all to exploit the power of the wiki.
    • Russ Goerend
       
      This is a great point that we need to think about in our creation of Wikis. We need to use the right tool to spread our information.
