Having in a previous posting bemoaned the fact that not too many other teachers seemed interested in the iPods, today walking into school with one of the prep teachers I was asked if the iPods could be borrowed. Not a problem I said and the fellow teacher accompanied me to the room. Picking up the first unit and starting it up I saw that battery was almost flat. A quick check of most of the others revealed much the same problem. Fortunately the staff member involved didn’t need the iPod until later in the day so a quick charge was in order before a couple of my students delivered one after lunch. The iPod was being used to record oral presentations of the preps involved. A neat idea as on replay to the children through the iTalks, (probably not the bestest of presentation formats), the children almost universally commented that they didn’t know that they “sounded like that”.

Hey John. I’m a secondary IT teacher in Melbourne and am trying to get our Primary staff to do something like you are doing with the iPods. I just came across your blog and I’ll be reading through it carefully in the near future (exam corrections and reports to do first).
I hope you have continued good luck in the future with your classes.
Cheers,
Joseph
