iPodject
Friday, September 5, 2008 at 9:14AM Josh Mika is working on the iPodject at Beebe Elementary School in Illinois. Besides having a cool name, there are other cool things from the project. There's a website, blog, and wiki. These resources are all about using iPod classics in classrooms.
The wiki has a page devoted to listing schools that are using iPods. The list can be a good thing to show school administrators that your idea to bring iPods into the classroom isn't a crazy one.
The wiki also has several videos about iPods. Josh recently made his own iPods in Education presentation video. The video gives a thorough introduction to what iPod classics can do. I like the point made at the end: Would you like to learn, purchase, carry, move, and store a television, CD player, tape recorder, CDs, documents, and file folders or a single iPod.

Thanks Tony, I couldn't have gotten this far without your help. I'm very proud of the inspirational video and I have hopes to follow it up with a shorter one focusing on pedagogy & technology. While I agree that technology should be an integral part of education, we need to remind teachers that good teaching practices come first. The wiki has a long way to go, but I wanted to kick start the collaborative environment in hopes of finding more schools for my study. I don't know how I missed this post, but starting the new school year must have played a part. :-) Thanks again for your support!
