iPodTouch for Learning Program Eisenhower now has sets of iPodTouchs to be checked-out on a rotational basis to our classrooms. Schools across the country and around the world are finding tremendous
success with the use of high technology mobile devices for learning
in classrooms. Our teachers are beginning to incorporate iPodTouches into their curriculum.
We have approximately 70 educational applications available for teachers to use. This is one more way that teachers are engaging our students in standards-based curriculum … and the kids love it!
If you would like to see which iPod programs we are working with at school, have a look at the list compiled by Ms. Lawson, second grade teacher at Eisenhower who is managing this technology for the school. You may find some that you would like use at home too!
Also, learn how you can help our program grow by donating your old iPhone or iPod Touch.
