After watching the videos/tutorials I learned
that in my content area, the students will have iPods and netbooks to help
facilitate learning. Students can find fitness apps on the iPods to use in class.
These tools can be set up in stations. I have used the BMI app on the iPod to
help find Body Mass Indexes. In addition, we can use the iPods, if video is
installed on them, to film students performing skills that can be used for
tutoring other children. The net books, iPods/ipad are great learning tools and
how are they are used must be closely monitored by the teacher.
Assigning a tech specialist (student) is key to
helping the classes monitor the tools. Making sure that students are not using
technology when the teacher is giving instructions is also important. Good
classroom management is essential to good learning.
I have no doubt that you will come up with a system that works for you and your kids. And they will be successful because of it!
