Apps on the itouch is a wonderful way to have students watch subject matter like science on any topic. For example, you can down load videos on plants or insects. Students can work on this part in a Tech Station in your room while you work with small groups. Students can take their journals and take notes on the video(s). How about if you have some struggling readers or advance readers? Down loads can be made on novels or books. You can also record stories for students to hear with earphones. This can also be a work station during the language arts block.
I know at the end of the year I have a poetry unit, and now I can down load many poems for the students to hear and reflect on what they have heard.
I like the NASA app because students can watch, keep a log, and see images of space or our planet. Another app is iphone screenshots. This is where students can doodle away and make pictures and at the same time respond to their drawings in their writer's notebook! Great for those students who complete their assignments early!
Rabbitically Wonderful!
