Joyce,
My understanding of your recent question about using iPods in the classroom
is that you need more information about how to use an iPod in the classroom
as a teacher's tool rather than having the students use them individually as
some folks have discussed in response to your question. I am also
interested in learning more about teachers' use of iPods and hope that
others can contribute their experiences/tricks/innovations on that theme.
If you can get your hands on a September 2007 article in the "Essential
Teacher" magazine which is put out to members of TESOL (www.tesol.org),
there is a great article by Sylvan Payne entitled " A Presentation in Your
Pocket." This article really addresses the kinds of issues about which I
believe you are inquiring : playing audio files, managing lessons, building
and showing an iPod-based presentation in class, etc, using the iPod
remotely, etc. The advantage is that you can just carry it all around on a
tiny device!
I hope this info helps and I look forward to hearing from others as well.
