iPod, iPhone, and iPad in the Classroom

Page history last edited by Doug Peterson 12 years, 7 months ago

 With this post on my blog, I've decided to start to put together a listing of what I think would be an ideal suite of applications for the iPod / iPhone in the classroom.  Given pricing and rules about cell phones to hurdle, I'm guessing that the iPod Touch would be the ideal mobile / portable solution.  Please consider joining this wiki and contributing your thoughts.

iPod and iPhone and ???iPad??? in the Classroom? Can the wiki be opened up to include iPads. A number of us are now looking at the iPad as a possible tool for students. I think it's only a matter of time before you join us. ;-)
