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.
