4th Generation iPod uses

With the upgrade of the camera, internal microphone, better speakers, and brilliant clarity on the 4th generation iPod Touch, this device truly becomes a collaborative tool for the classroom. A first grade teacher has her students progress monitoring themselves as they record themselves reading. Next, they replay their voice memo to listen for errors. The camera can scan a QR code (printed from an app) and quickly link them to a file, webpage or something else. Another teacher is using her document camera to record short mini-lessons in a video format and then loads them onto the iPods for a center. We are amazed at how many different ways this tool can be used in the elementary classroom. It is truly the screwdriver in our digital toolbox.
