This is a big week for iPodject. On Friday, March 28th, I’ll be presenting the iPods to my school for the second time. This time I’ll be backed by an additional twenty at our disposal, a bit more practical experience, and a plethora of educational examples. Using ideas collected from Learning in Hand , Apple, and my own collection of ideas , I hope to persuade more teachers to use the iPods in their classrooms.
From this perspective I welcomed Tony Vincent’s recent blog and podcast on iPod photo ideas. This collection of freebees (phenomenal choice to spur invention by demonstrating it) encapsulates the educational heart of what I’m trying to accomplish by using iPods in education.

When I began working with iPods at my school, I had little knowledge and many people helped me along the way. After the presentation this May, I wanted to give back. It’s taken three months and hours of work to fine tune my production. Most of my time was working diligently to follow copyright guidelines and be a model for other educators. Unfortunately, my interactions with Apple were less than productive (see timeline below).
Regardless of this rough patch, I feel con...

Yes.
I knew I couldn’t be the first one to capture this, but the following video might be one of the first to capture a one year-old (dark hair) teaching a two year-old (blond) how to use the iPhone/iPod Touch photography feature. You’ll notice the blond watching the younger, dark haired child scroll, double tap, and drag pictures around the simple touch screen. By the end of the video the blond tries applying the skills she’s learned, only to conflict wi...
