Just when I bemoan the fact that I seem to be the only one working with the iPods at school when I get two calls in the one day from my colleagues requesting use of three or four. Hey there, as in the words of the Moving Pictures song, WHAT ABOUT ME??? Actually it is really nice to be seeing some action with them.
One was to use them in the aforementioned oral reading record activity. This was pretty neat however the second idea is even more interesting. The teacher involved, (a 1st year graduate no less), has this idea of getting some of her children to take an iPod around the school to interesting spots and then narrate a description of some of the things at this site. The iPods would then be passed onto other classmates who would use the clues as narrated to find special items located at each site. Fascinating idea indeed, I shall tell you more as things develop.
