We welcome you to our wiki and blog for supporting iPod & iPad devices in education. Although our focus is K-12, many of the techniques should work for you at any level and with any number of devices. On the
wiki side of this site are the deployment and management articles, and on the
blog side, you will find the classroom activities (written primarily by teachers) where iPods are supporting achievement improvement for our students. We are posting as many help and how-to articles here as we can and as quickly as we can so you can continue to be successful using iPod devices in your classroom. Please
let us know if there are more or different things that you would like to have included here.
iPad has landed! We are working with our first iPads and will begin to post how-to articles on managing and deploying iPads in classroom or other educational settings.
We are adding our 2010 Innovation Grant presentations written by teachers that relate to iPod devices in the classroom, complete with PDFs (and occasional videos) of their presentations. Take a look at the
first one, here.
