Great resources

28 interesting ways to use an iPod touch in the Classroom is a great resource of apps and tips. We'll spend additional time here on formative assessment with mobile devices. There are paid apps for this although we've been using Google docs with teacher web pages for the last year and half with great success.

iPod touches in the K12 Environment




Equity and Differentiation

realized through a 3 year program of

1:1 deployment of iPod touches for 700 student


Lynne Goodhand and Susan Wells


Culbreth Middle School

Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools

North Carolina


The educational use of iPod touches

through school-wide implementation at

Culbreth Middle School has served as a

catalyst for collaboration toward equity between students, educators

and other community members.


The iPod touch provides instant access

to the internet and its storehouse of information,

and forces educators to consider which resources are

appropriate, engaging & educational

when planning and carrying out lessons.


We’re witnessing a new paradigm for classroom

organization, collaboration & motivation

shaped specifically for 21st century learners.


The Whole World In Their Hands
