EDT+676+Assignment+5

I have started to use my ipod for my personal use in planning and pleasure.I have downloaded some games that are fun to pass the time but I am also using it as a calendar and I am messing around with some of the other fun apps that are out on the market today.My students have gotten a kick out of showing me a new app that they found and giving me ideas of how they use theirs in their lives. For the school use, I am using the calendar function of it as well. I am keeping track of school events and planning lessons for weeks ahead. As our district turns to wireless internet, I see using the ipods in class. Students that have them could use them on tests. I could create podcasts of my tests so that students in special education can listen to the test instead of having a teacher read it to them. This provides them a chance to take the test with the rest of the class and avoid the chance of feeling embarrassed. I feel that there are many benefits to having them in the classroom. I will not block them, as long as they are being used constructively.
